I prefer minimal/get-out-of-my-way distros, currently Arch if you're into the systemd paradigm, Alpine if not (and to answer the rolling release distro stability question you asked somebody upthread, I've been using Arch as the daily driver for years, and it's been the most stable/just-works distro I know (having experience with openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora)).
I can't stand DEs, just a simple window manager for me.
I also use OpenBSD on servers (which is not a Linux distro, but other responses mention BSDs, too, so here goes).

which wm?
I've used XMonad a lot, which is really overkill for my humble needs, but I usually end up having Haskell installed anyway.
Any tiling WM with a few customizable keyboard shortcuts would work I suppose.

IIRC they released version 13 (based on debian 12) on dec 2023. But since they moved the support forum to discord I don't follow their updates anymore.
I don't understand why peoples moving their support forum/docs to discord (not indexable by search engine, hard to follow etc.).
Isn't that for smartphones & tablets as Wikipedia is saying?..
For me:
Debian/Ubuntu + XFCE/LXDE. I find Debian to be better than Ubuntu in terms of maintenance (no Ubuntu Pro crap for LTS), and LXDE to be faster than XFCE. I used RDP to remote connect to the Desktop only for a short while, since I discovered X2GO~ which is better because it gives me a whole lot more image parameters than RDP!
Fedora with XFCE. Moving back to Slackware after several decades when 15.1 gets released - it's my old flame and I learned on it and miss the simplicity.

We have PinePhone A64 3GB.
It comes out of the closest, maybe twice a year.

Am I boring for enjoying Ubuntu for decades?

I like Cinnamon desktop.
Used XFCE and GNOME for a while, really gave 'em a chance, but they just weren't as nice for me.
Mint is my favourite distro, but I also like antiX because it runs on very low end computers and is the official commie distro!

The OS itself is pretty lightweight tho NGL

Pro or Core version ? Is there any difference except looks?
ServerStatus , slackvpn <-- openVPN auto install script for Slackware 15
Core (free) version. Pro only includes pre-installed (free) software. Only worth if you want to support the project imho.

That's what i though
Thank you
