I thought you've always been a Cinnamon guy!

I liked Cinnamon the most of the spins when I first tested out Fedora.

Because of that I started with Korora.

But the current Gnome is clean, and with two plugins it works well for me.

Which two plugins make it work well for you?

Is there a reason for the Fedora preference?

s it more stable than CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu?

Do you use it mixed with other OS's as to what each situation calls for?

How many desktops do you have? Do you switch desktops based on each situation?

The RHEL ecosystem has always been my preferred ecosystem.

Long before there was ever an Ubuntu. Also Ubuntu sucks.

If I am required to use Ubuntu by some application, I will attempt to use Debian instead.

The added complexity of Debian is my main one. I used to be annoyed by their hang-up on always having to type sudo for anything that needed root access, but Ansilble, Salt, etc have really made that a thing of the past.

For Desktops, I preferred Fedora (The best Vanilla GNOME3 experience for me) and then Ubuntu/Pop!OS.

For servers, I preferred Fedora over CentOS because it’s easier to keep up with latest packages and to upgrade the OS with minimal impact of packages breaking.

I preferred Fedora over Ubuntu/Debian because I’m more comfortable with it. But I will use Ubuntu or Debian if I need to.

Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian have been pretty stable for me. It usually the combinations of packages, repo and upgrades that sometimes cause stability issues.

Too much work to switch to root?

sudo -i not a thing in the Debian world?

It is, but Canonical will fire you for using it. Never sat well with me.

I need to spend some time in the Debian world to become more familiar.

From a minimal Debian install, sudo and ssh are not even a thing. This is not a bad thing.
