I’m about to switch back to Debian.Any reason I don’t know of that Elementary OS would be a bad idea? I know Debian. I don’t know the nuances of Arch or red hat.
I found my final missing FOSS video editor that finally gets me off Windows. I’ve been having issues with indexing on windows, and they keep turning on that fucking reminder to sign into One drive even after I destroy it with a registry change.
There really aren’t any reasons not to use Elementary OS. Sure it’s highly opinionated but that also means that it’s super cohesive and has superb user experience.
It has a Live Session so check it out if you like it and then simply install it.
