Centos seems to be the goto ina work environment.
However debian has so much damn software available compared to all other distros, at home it is what i use.You feel it has more than Suse and Fedora? Maybe it does, but boy do they have a lot. That was Suse's claim to fame, over 20,000 end user apps in the early 2000s.
Who needs 20,000 apps for their servers?
Why did you mention all the apps if not for desktops?

And the water doesn't sit 2 inches under you... they are much deeper!

I am going to leave that one alone, only because of your recent time in Italy.

Yes, that is 1/4" of water, just inches below your bum.

Common enough in the north that we had issues finding bathrooms for the kids to use some days. We've seen them on Lake Como, on the Milan train line and so forth. So more in Lombardi and Piemonte than in Sicily.

@scottalanmiller I've been to Italy...never actually seen one of these. Kinda glad lol

We've been stuck in situations where we could find nothing else and the kids were afraid to use them.

I literally have no idea. There are never hooks to hang up your pants, either. I've really checked. I truly cannot figure out how to use them.

You have to be bendy, or use the handicapped stall, I'd probably have to at this point, yeah, bad joints. I've never experienced one myself, but wouldn't you're pants hide the things from view and be out of the way?

There are never stalls when you find these. They are normally in the middle of a giant room, nothing to grab onto anywhere.

I can't imagine how they would.
And then there is the big falling over problem.
