Ubuntu was my first when I started poking around with it. Not sure which version, but it was during the Unity era. Pop!_OS was the one I started using when I switched full time. I’m still using it on my main computer, but I’m also using Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and Mint on other devices because I like variety!

It is an enjoyable way to contribute to the OSM project! I mostly use JOSM or the iD editor for mapping, but when I only have my phone I’ll pull out StreetComplete and do a few quests.

For beginners to mapping, it’s a very easy way to contribute without the worry of messing up something!

How does this involve Linux?

It’ll be interesting to see how much these will cost. Most likely way out of my bracket! I prefer having things spread onto slightly smaller drives due to the transfer speeds though.
