Since droping win 11 a couple of weeks back, I have been distro hopping in the hope of finding a Disrto as my daily driver !
My needs are very much simple and it has been like that for some years. I am a trader by trade. Not a geek nor an IT guy but can get around with clear howtos without too much difficulties.
High on the list has been and is security (trader by trade).
Only one distro allowed me to have a full disk encryption without any bugs. Fedora 36. Unfortunately Fedora did not respond to all my needs and mostly never like the fact you have no separation between the user base and user software. I know that you can uninstall afterwards but too cumbersome.. Plus corporate distro.. va de retro satanas !!
Anyone guess what distro I am now using as my daily driver ? Could change since the Linux eco system is extremely dynamic ..

- Full drive encryption with Hibernation/Hybrid Sleep.
- Functional. I use KDE for functionality. Others DE work fine but not as functional as KDE.
- Base install need to be separate from the DE and user base software. Base install need to be top notch and possiblity with piece of software to help make my rig more functional, resilient, and compatible. Love the GUI but learnt that on Linux you have to get your hands dirty with terminal
- Possibility of minimal install and then adapte user software to your liking.
- Extremely up to date kernel drivers since my rig is less than 6 months old. Basically rolling release. I moved to Linux because of Win 11. Never intended to do so in the first place so my rig was not adapted to Linux.
- No Corporate Distro. ie: Fedora, Suse. I am sorry but I have turned extremely biased against corporate with all the pain I have gone through with Windows. Same for user software. Only Open Source if I can help it.
