Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

I've been a long time Debian user. Debian 12 has been almost a perfect release so far. Highly recommended.

So were Woody and Potato (memories...).

Woody was my first Linux distro ever! My family only had one PC with dialup at the time, and you could buy the entire repo on CD-ROM. I actually keep the CD images around in case I want to play with a VM and feel nostalgic.

I know the FSF wouldn't approve, but I am glad that they include the firmware on the regular network install image now. I need it to connect to wi-fi.

I know they always offered one with the firmware, but you had to do some digging on cdimage.debian.org to find it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
