I have a 'spare' Dell Latitude 7390 (Core i5 9gb ) on this machine. My production machine runs Debian with KDE.

What might be an interesting distro for me to try out on my spare machine?

just how “different from Debian” do you want to go?

  • staying mainstream – EndeavourOS or Fedora will give you a similar experience, nothing too scary
  • try out one of the immutable options – NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, Guix, VanillaOS
  • something a little more trimmed down – Void, Alpine, Slackware
  • play with the source – Gentoo
  • do a little learning – Linux From Scratch

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.
