Ok nostr linux folks, I left linux desktops and laptops about 17 years ago, when I went to a macbook pro and FreeBSD servers (mostly for work, not by choice) then had to go mostly Microsoft-based for work (different job, but it was definitely worth it.
When I left off, I think I was running Debian builds with a Fluxbox window manager (never really liked Gnome or KDE, but would pick KDE when I needed to). I've ran Slackware and Gentoo as well, but Debian was a little easier to get up and running and still be relatively bloat-free. I've ran Enlightenment, but while pretty, never actually worked all that well for me.
Obviously, time has passed. What should I be looking at now for a distro? Window Manager? Should I just try to start back up with Debian and Fluxbox, or is there good reason to try something new?
