Verification engineers probably work on remote machines a fair amount of the time using tools like VNC (I also use TightVNC) and NoMachine NX, but working on the desktop is also a popular use model for many tasks. Personally, I have used openSUSE quite a bit in the past. There are also community options like Fedora and openSUSE that are similar to the "official" EDA operating systems. From time-to-time questions appear on the internal Incisive AE e-mail traffic about clone distributions like CentOS. Most of the time it's because these are not easily available. I would guess that it's a fairly common problem that users don't want to use one of the two primary Linux platforms, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES). Unfortunately for Linux enthusiasts, Cadence tends to follow the EDA Industry OS Roadmap when selecting operating systems to support. Ubuntu is by many accounts the most popular and the easiest to use Linux distribution for the desktop.
