Linux

Arch.

I've done a reasonable amount of distrohopping, but I always come crawling back because I've never found anything that can compete with the AUR.

NixOS. Declarative reproducible immutable systems are the future.

Servers: Debian Stable no DE

Desktop: Pop OS or Ubuntu

I've used everything from Arch and Gentoo to fedora and Ubuntu. But I found myself enjoying the stability of Debian but hating the lack of newer packages. The latter of which isnt usually a problem when it comes to single purpose servers.

After some hopping, I've been settled on Fedora KDE spin for a while because it just works for me.

Right now I'm using PopOs but I'll switch to Opensuse Leap or Fedora. I hope they don't give me any trouble with the Nvidia drivers

I use Pop OS! on my daily computer and laptop and Ubuntu on my home server

Endeavor OS. I've been sticking to solely Arch or Arch-based distros since 2017 and I've been pretty happy so far.

I like to keep things somewhat basic so I use Arch btw....

Debain - cuz my production VMs need to run all day, every day.

Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

Hanna Montana Linux as my daily driver. Endeavouros for work.

Mainly running Gentoo, on my desktop, laptop, and even my desktop at work. Though my homelab is mainly Debian, with a small number of AlmaLinux nodes as well.

At work it's almost all RHEL though, since support contracts are nice.

Alpine is honestly my go to

Gnu guix

Linux Mint, it just works

Fedora on an old laptop, piOS on a pi2 and Ubuntu on my newer laptop although I'm planning to change it to Fedora too..after 12 years of Ubuntu and 4 release upgrades in a row my system seems kinda broken and my apt is definetly broken with many sources.list entries that didn't upgrade well.. I don't like having dozens of loopback entries when I do a fdisk command ..it's annoying and looks like it's because of snaps ..also I get every day to update something in snap store but it fails every single time ...so maybe I'll go by Fedora next..Planning to use the new Debian Bookworm to set a server with this old desktop I getting from a friend to self host some services

A couple of them. At home my main distro for desktop and laptop is openSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it the most since it is a rolling release (with fresh and up-to-date software versions) and they actually have some CI/testing setup so they do some basic tests of packages before releasing them and it is thus one of the most stable rolling release distros. On top of that they also ahve a system setup so that a BTRFS snapshot is done before and after each update automatically and a GRUB boot entry is added. In this case if something would go wrong with the update you can always boot back into old system before the update. Also they have one of the best KDE Plasma integrations.

In addition to this I also use SteamOS (Arch-based) on the Steam Deck, PopOS on my work laptop (would use Kubuntu but that is what they forced us to standardise on), and one machine I have is still running Gentoo. All are runnign with KDE Plasma as a desktop.

I've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.

Xubuntu for over ten years now. It was the first thing I landed on when in a panic that my store-bought, WinXP -preinstalled PC was failing and I couldn't afford to be without it nor replace it. Even after being so grateful for it rescuing me, it's also taught me, and worked flawlessly for all I need from my computers since.

Kubuntu, not much configuration and pretty accessible for me !

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just downloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1

I used Fedora for a while but now I'm using OpenSUSE and I like it

Linux Mint for desktops/laptops (Cinnamon if the hardware can handle it, MATE if it's a bit long in the tooth), and Debian for servers.

I've used several distros (yes, even Arch btw) through the years but I just keep finding myself coming back to the Debian-based ones. I guess I just feel most at-home with the way it has things set up, or something.

No matter what I do I always end up back at Fedora, Silverblue specifically for the last several releases, fits my desire for an OS that gets out of my way and just lets me do what I need to do.

These days I mostly use Manjaro, though I've been thinking of giving the Suse rolling release a try.

Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.

I started with Kubuntu, then hopped to EndeavourOS and then moved to Fedora KDE. I've been using Fedora KDE since F36 released and have been quite happy with it.

Fedora. I started my Linux journey 1 year ago with Pop!_OS, then switched to Endeavor OS, an Arch based distro for beginners because I felt limited due to the Ubuntu/Debian base. I liked Endeavor, but it was too easy to break and I had to reinstall it several times. Ichoese Fedora due to its stability while maintaing up-to-date packages. Fedora has been a great experience for a long time.

I run PopOS on my laptop. It's been really solid, except Linux doesn't support the speaker amp so I can only get sound out via the headphone jack or bluetooth.

xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i'm probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.

Switched around in the past but been on Debian with KDE for the past year or so

Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.

fedora and void :D fedora mostly because my work uses centos so the muscle memory is already there for almost everything. void because it is cool and fast 💙

openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma. It's the perfect combination!

Only used Linux for a couple of months and use Fedora currently. Been through a fair few distros, but think Im gonna stick with Fedora for a while.

Been on Gentoo for a long time. My current image has been rolling forward since 2008 which is when I switched to 64 bit but I started using it long before that.

I value transparency, control and customizability. I occasionally look into other options (and use them at work and in other contexts) but haven't yet found a better fit for my personal preferences.

Debian.

Just works, things are made targetting it specifically, able to get latest software if I need it by installing flatpaks.

Can't complain really.

Arch, nothing beats the availability and ease of installing packages from the AUR

I started using Linux in October 2020 with Manjaro KDE (not including trying out nearly every major beginner-friendly distro in VMs before installing it on bare metal), then I moved to EndeavourOS - still with KDE - in July 2021 and am still on that same install.

Switch from Windows to Fedora as my daily driver and for some gaming. Works flawlessly and I love every parts of it. Linux has such cool distros and communities

Currently using Fedora. I love the experience
