Here's an unbelievable fun fact:

The legendary creator of Linux and git, Linus Torvalds, once admitted in an interview that he had never used Debian. Why? Because he found it too difficult to install!

To this day, he reportedly still hasn't switched. Linus famously uses Fedora as his primary Linux distro. He further clarified that he is not the system’s guy i.e. IT professional who knows how to deal with different OSes. At least he is honest and wanted something that allowed him to do his job.
