Still using Firefox but looking to move to LibreWolf

If you have budget, Thinkpads can’t go wrong. You can also find refurbished.

Tuxedo and Framework are also excellent choices.

Yes. If you don’t agree with the CEO, keep in mind that he is not the owner, they moved to a nonprofit structure. Proton’s CEO is not the first one saying stupid things, the same happened with Mozilla, Brave, and perhaps many other reputable groups.

Proton products are good, IMHO the layout is OK.

It’s good, but not the only one. If you don’t feel comfortable with Proton, go to Mailbox.org, Posteo, Tuta. They are smaller, with less products on their portfolio, but reputable and as good as Proton.

Fish is amazing, I’ve been using it for years in all of my computers and servers

Same here

Mostly for fun/learning and to tweak some Fedora packages to my needs. I keep my own RPM repository.

Fedora with GNOME.

I’ve been using it for over than 10 years in my main computer.

It simply works, it’s nice, fresh packages, stable, GNOME is productivity champion (at least I know all the shortcuts, and how to tweak it to my daily use). I also know how to build and manipulate RPM packages, so it’s pretty convenient.

I always use Rocky Linux or Alma Linux, since I have extensive experience with enterprise Linux and RPM packages. I have Fedora on my main desktop computer. Both Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are rock-solid and are ideal for any kind of workload.

Also, Debian is a good choice if you know how to manage DEB packages and you feel comfortable with APT.

Fedora is a good choice if you want fresh packages and are willing to upgrade your server every 6 months (following the Fedora release cycle).

Rocky Linux and Alma Linux follow a similar slow release cycle of RHEL, wherein you can install your server and not have to worry for years (as long as the packages are updated with dnf update) Debian is also a slow release distribution, which makes it good for servers.
