What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? (feddit.uk)

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

Not the guy you asked, but my 2 main gripes are:

holding back main repos and not aur? That's dumb and just asking for trouble.
sheer incompetence. Remember their certs expiring? Remember their public recommended workaround? That's webdev level of bs. They absolutely do not understand their own setup.

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.
