Linux

ParrotOS for personal, current Ubuntu LTS for business

• Arch Linux on desktop and laptop
• Ubuntu on server, with containers running mostly Alpine Linux
• postmarketOS (Alpine Linux based) on mobile phone (pinephone)

I use Arch Linux, had to say it :)

My laptop is my oldest install, running Ubunutu. Started out on 14.04 and I've been updating ever since. My desktop runs Arch, although it used to be Antergos. I kinda convinced it to be Arch after Antergos died so I kept getting updates. Finally I'm currently trying Fedora on my secondary PC filled with old hardware from previous builds.

Honestly, out of these I personally like Fedora most currently. It seems to have up-to-date enough packages and seems quite stable. The AUR on Arch is a powerful thing, but it can also be quite hit or miss. While Ubuntu was fine as a first distro, I don't really like how outdated all the packages are. I've had quite a few cases where packages where more than a year out of date.

For my desktops/laptops I use Void Linux, for my servers I use Debian.

EndeavourOS for desktops, Ubuntu for servers

i use arch (btw)

on a more serious note i do use arch (btw)

Archlinux on all desktops and laptops, Debian on all raspis, FreeBSD on the firewall (pfsense).

Nixos since 3-4 years. Arch Linux before that.

I fall firmly in the Ubuntu/derivative camp for the most part. My laptop is on Pop, some of my virtual servers are on Ubuntu. Only exception is UnRAID, which is technically Slackware.

Been using PopOS for my living room AMD GPU pc, and it’s been the most seamless steam machine experience I’ve had so far. Tried multiple distros on my Nvidia one, and I just had no luck, I’ll move my Nvidia pc into Linux soon for another attempt.

Moved from Arch to Nix and loving it!

Arch, Debian, NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, Raspbian, GrapheneOS[Android]

Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Long are gone the days where I used to tinker with different Linux flavors.

Fortunately, I can afford powerful enough systems so I do not have to be worried about optimizing every single aspect of the OS.

I want things just to work out of the box. I am aware that this applies to more distros than Ubuntu, but I just do not have the time and energy anymore.

Just Ubuntu. I have tried plenty of others but Ubuntu just seems to tick most boxes for me.

EDIT: I am looking forward to the new Pop! when it comes out, I will surely give it a try, No idea if I will switch then though.

I use gentoo everywhere, from my nas to my webserver and my pc and laptop.

With binhost and distcc it’s really not bad and the customizability is just unmatched.

Debian 12 for now is a great investment for the next 5 years, tho.

Arch

I'm on Endeavour right now. I just got a Thinkpad E15 G4 specifically so I could have a Linux PC, as I'm regrettably running Win11 on my tower PC w/RTX GPU because of how many games I (and more significantly my children) play that either don't work or don't work as well on Linux.

I start with Mandrake in 2002, then Ubuntu from 2005-2013, and have been on Arch pretty exclusively since 2017 aside from some random distro-hopping for fun. I was gonna run it on here, but I just didn't feel like going through the installation process today, so I said screw it and threw on Endeavour, and honestly it's really nice having a fairly vanilla Arch experience without having to figure out my network manager, and starting every little thing from scratch and all that. Think I'll probably stick with it ❤️

Peppermint OS for a dinky little Chromebook, that’s my daily laptop lol.

Was an Arch user for a long time, last few months I've made the switch to nixos, whilst I'm still experimenting I am enjoying it so far, still a lot to learn though.

Manjaro (btw)

Currently a Fedora guy, and have been for a while. Who knows if that will change tho...
