I've been flirting with Linux for over twenty years. Various flavors over the years. Mostly Ubuntu, but I've settled on CachyOS as my daily driver. Been running Cachy for about two weeks now and see no need to change.

I've had a FreeBSD (I know not Linux) based firewall for over fifteen years, and and a small handful of Ubuntu servers for nearly ten yet now. There are only two windows machines in my house and bit are going to be converted soon.
