What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

  • In 2007 I tried Ubuntu and it was weird, then again in 2008, no! In 2009 I found Mint and was really happy, until they stopped supporting KDE. Then I tried a ton of distros, Xfce, no. Lxde, no. open suse, no. fedora, no, lots of others, no. I finally found Kubuntu and I have been on it ever since. Even tested Neon lately but hated it.
    Kubuntu does what I want it to do.
    Linux always seems scary at first, but once you learn enough, it's super easy.

    • Yeah, did you find mint easy to use? I'm in Ubuntu and thinking about switching. I just worry about driver support, cause everything works on Ubuntu for me. I try and apt get everything I can TBH.

      • I really liked Mint at the time, but only the KDE version, and would never have left if they hadn't stopped supporting it. They had great nVidia support. I no longer have nVidia on any of my computers because it's just annoying to fight with that mess.
        Plus Linux as a whole has better driver support than it used to.
