The openSUSE Wiki says not to use ventoy as it can cause boot issues.

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

That's not necessarily true any more. There are distros built without the GNU tools.

It works fine for me. Not on wayland but that's down to my Nvidia card and I hope explicit sync will sort it out.

In addition to what's already been said, Canonical have a history of starting grandiose projects and then abandoning them a few years later. See Mir, Unity, and Ubuntu Touch for examples.

Alpine Linux is often recommended in similar circumstances. I've never tried it so can't say how it is. Of course you could use Debian with a light WM.

According to vim --help:

Put such things into your home dir which does not change when distro hopping. home dir will always stay there no matter what.

Unless you've put it on the same partition as root

The first distro I tried was Red Hat 5 back in the late 1990s but I never got a GUI working so I guess the first one I used properly would have been Mandrake iirc. These days it's Tumbleweed.
