From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

I run Lubuntu on my main laptop, Xubuntu on my wife's; she had no preference when we were setting it up, so I figured it would be a good test, she can compare using hers vs mine. She still has no preference; oh well, I tried.

Debian on my linode and local server. Some godforsaken Debian spinoff on my Rock64, which is pretty much exclusively an SMB/NFS server.

Oh, and the Windows 7 laptop, chugging along running a few services, mostly through inertia. We don't talk about Windows.
