I'm curious what applications those would be?  I've used LINUX as my
primary desktop for a decade,  and I haven't had to compile an
application in years.  And I'm pretty sure I haven't built a kernel in
at least five years.

Nah, I don't care what you use. :)   I settled on openSUSE back on
release 10 and haven't seen any reason to change.  Generally, distro
hopping/shopping is a colossal waste of time.
