It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

If Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, Suse, etc… are the Greek Gods, then Debian and Slackware are the mythological Titans that preceded them.

Wow, I did not expect Fedora to be this much of a Johnny come lately. Debian is 93, Fedora 03! Even when you consider Red Hat, which is basically fedora , RH is STILL from 95.
