I recently switched to Fedora after roughly two decades of using Ubuntu (started with Warty Warthog), Debian and their derivatives. Feels oddly comfortable, and strangely nostalgic having started using in Linux with Red Hat 24 years ago. I think both Ubuntu and Fedora have their issues, as well as their strengths. It just boils down to what issues and strengths are most important to you.

Red Hat was the first Linux I installed, about 24 years ago, and got hooked. Switched to Ubuntu about 19 years ago, and have used nothing but Debian and derivatives since. I've attempted Fedora a few times, but could not convince myself to stick to it.
I try different distros just out of curiosity. I've used several that look promising, but there always seems to be some little thing I end up not liking. I usually end up going back to Zorin, which to me feels a lot like Mint. If Mint works well for you, use it. While many Linux users tend to distro-hop quite a bit, if you just want a computer that works for what you need it to do, stick with what does that for you.
I don't mind them. If this type of social media had existed when I first installed Linux 24 years ago, I would have probably done the same thing.
The state agency bureau I provide IT support for has had 10% (8 out of 80) of their new ThinkPads returned for warranty work, with several more showing signs of developing the same problem. The USB-C charging/data port broke on all of them.
Well, I changed the Selftext font in Cards view, then switched back to Small Cards view, and the setting stuck. Odd, but works.
I guess I should have specified that I use the Small Cards view, which doesn't have the Selftext setting.
https://a.co/d/fsUPIlH is what I bought. Amazon has hundreds of other bands also. You can also get an adapter that allows you to use any standard 20mm watch band- https://a.co/d/hdBiCN7
Red Hat 6.2 - Got it on 2 CDs that came with the 1999 version of Red Hat Linux for Dummies.
There are tons of aftermarket bands for Pixel Watch on Amazon now. I bought one that is a lot more ventilated and doesn't irritate my arm with constant wear like the band that came with the watch.
I've tried to switch to Firefox, but always end up back on Chrome. Firefox just doesn't "feel" good to me on Android. Maybe that's just because I'm so used to Chrome. I should force myself to use Firefox exclusively for a while. I'd probably get used to it and enjoy it.
And I hate the address bar at the top!
Edge has a much new kernel. The last time I checked, regular Mint was using a 5x kernel, and Edge had, if I remember correctly, a 6.5 kernel.
