Honestly, anything below the age of majority is sketchy (excepting a romeo and julet clause) IMHO and I was surprised the average was 16.

Uh, no. World wide average age of consent is 16.

The only superior Linux distro and DE is the one that works for you and meets your needs.

This is different for each user and, frankly, the joy of Linux that it has such a variety as to be able to meet almost everyone’s needs.

For me , personally, thats Debian/Gnome with minimal tweaks but just because it works for my workflow does not make it superior.

1. Catch up on my TV Shows
2. More reading
3. Rebuild my CasaOS host from Ubuntu to Debian

Then see what the weather does and whether it’s worth venturing out for a walk.
