Operating Systems that you may enjoy?
-
There are many operating systems out there. Do any of you use any that are not-so-familiar for anything other than productivity for work or home?
I was doing some reading today and thought I install a few to what they were like.
I have no reason other than to satisfy my curiosity to explore....

I use Fedora and Deepin regularly. Neither are that obscure, but neither are quite mainstream either.

I saw you mention Deepin the other day. I may give it a look too.

Very nice desktop OS. They do quite an amazing job of making it unique and polished.

Are asking about Operating Systems or Desktop Environments or both? For operating systems, Fedora feels right with me personally and professionally. And for desktop environments I feel the same way with GNOME3.
Plus I'm just done with distro hopping and switching to different desktop environments. I only checkout other distros and desktop environments just to be familiar with it to be kept in the loop with progress.

I like the Fedora/RHEL ecosystem for OS.
For the desktop, I liked the Cinnamon experience the best when I tested the various choices for Fedora Workstation.

I have been using Deepin and Ubuntu for a long time for computers and Servers (Deepin only for computers). I am testing System76 (POP Os)right now

Windows 10 and Fedora 29 on all desktops/laptop for daily driver. Ran Ubuntu for a while but switched to Fedora a couple years ago. Tried Suse and Mint but they were temporary. Have a few servers running Ubuntu, but anything new goes on Fedora.

If you want to play around with different OSs you should try for example:
- Qubes OS (safety OS where everything is run in VMs)
- TinyCoreLinux (extremely small, low resource desktop OS, ~11 MB)
- Lubuntu (light weight desktop OS based on LXDE, suitable for older hardware)
- LinuxFromScratch (if you want to roll your own linux)
- FreeBSD or OpenBSD (if you want to try some BSD)
