    I use fedora as a daily driver and debian for everything that just needs to do one thing for possibly decades to come with as little maintenance as possible.

        My set of requirements for a daily driver is very different. From experience, I’ll end up with a frankendebian that requires much more manual intervention and has a high risk of breaking during updates.

          fair point. I fucked my install trying to make my overheating issues go away, but after going onto nobara, pika os I think the issues are here to stay. I’m going to try to stop overtinkering to stop getting frankendebian

      I would use Debian more if I didn’t have to remember whether to use apt or yum every time I ssh’d into a random server on my network.

        I think this is why some people use Neofetch (and its contemporaries).

        It helps give a quick rundown of server specs, OS, etc to help remind you of the command mindset you need to be operating in when you connect to a new machine remotely - just quickly run your info tool of choice.

          Yeah, or I could put something in the prompt, I’ve considered writing an alias or function so instead of yum or apt I could just run install and let the system run what it must.

          It’s not really a big concern, though. I don’t run that many systems and I reimage them with different distros often enough that it hasn’t been worth addressing for me.

          Thank you for the suggestion though!
