Linux

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

The best distribution is Fedora Silverblue KDE, I refuse to call it kinoite or any other stupid mineral name though.

Slackware 15 on desktop, Devuan 4 on laptop, Rocky 8 on my RPI and LineageOS 18 on my phone. Slackware is really awesome.

I switched from Windows 10 to Nobara last month when I built my new PC! I used Ubuntu back in 2012-2013 but I ended up switching back to Windows. Now that I'm much older my priorities have changed and with the big push for Linux gaming in recent years it seemed like a no-brainer to me. I always enjoyed the tinkering back in the day and now I feel at home.

I used to use Debian but after switching to Fedora Silverblue two years ago I've had zero urge to distrohop. I love that it allows me to tinker without breaking my system (which I used to do with Debian).

Pop!_OS on my System76 laptop. Debian|Ubuntu on my VMs. If I add a desktop environment, it's typically KDE. I have a soft spot for XFCE though.

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.

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.

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

Pop_OS on both laptop and desktop, since it has integrated nvidia graphic drivers and handles them without too much hassle. Before switching to Pop_OS I used to use Fedora for many years.

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.

Fedora, for the “It Just Works”™ experience of an enterprise-supported distro.

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.

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

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

Been on Linux Mint Cinnamon for at least a decade. I love Cinnamon; most don't take the time to understand how to customize it, and it's not hard. Mint removes all of Canonical's bullshit in Ubuntu and it just works.

MX Linux, with XFCE. Has some tools built in that makes configuring the system so much easier. The package manager is solid with all the debian repos available, plus flatpaks. Sane DE defaults.

Does not use SystemD, but can be turned on at boot.

It is stellar. I no longer feel the need to distrohop. Yet... It has been awhile.

Also, for reason NVIDIA drivers don't load when I need to enter my encryption password, so life can be better.

I do not care about SystemD, and it seems everything would be easier if I chose a distro that uses it. I may just do that.

I have tried to like Fedora because it is excellent, but I always run into issues that annoy me. I used to adore Manjaro, but it just got worse over the years. Cannot stand it now. I just don't like Arch.

Maybe I will try Pop_OS! again.

Nixos, mostly because I wanted to have configuration manage for my laptop and VPSs, and it solves that and the problem of configuration (installed apps etc. in my case) drifting. Also nix as a whole idea is cool, but I figured that out later.

I'm using Mageia at home.
I like its stability, and ease to do almost anything with CCM.

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.

With Debian 12 being out, I'm back to Debian and for good this time. We got the last plasma 5 and the inclusion of nonfree firmware on theisoo makes it easier to install. After all these years, Debian still feels like home.

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers

Fedora, it has fairly new software, it doesn't break and it's big enough to have a lot of distro specific support. The only thing that bothers me is that dnf is a slow ass package manager.

I have two machines for different purposes - the desktop is the one that other people use that I'm not allowed to break, so that one just dual boots Pop!OS and Windows 10.

The laptop is my own tinkering machine, so that one is Arch and KDE, perpetually in various states of disarray.

Hi for now i'm on Debian 12 on my laptop Asus gl553vd, all is working great

I run pop os. But I can see myself moving to something non-ubuntu in the future. For server stuff I'm most familiar with Debian/RedHat.

Mostly Gentoo with a sprinkle of Arch and Debian. It used to be Ubuntu, then Arch, but Gentoo has opened up so much for me - I just cannot go back to a binary distro.

At this point most issues I run into at work where it's not Gentoo - I just nod and smile, and wish we had switched to it already. And then proceed finding a workaround because that's the best Ubuntu and the likes can offer.

Desktop: Ubuntu, mainly because that's what we support at work

Servers: Debian/Proxmox

Debian testing w. KDE on the desktop, & stable on my vps

edit: oh yea username checks out

I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.

Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros

I use Crystal Linux (Arch-based) on my computers, Debian on my servers.

KDE Neon. I actually love it as a daily driver. It’s stable and familiar and I think it feels quite polished for regular casual use.

Debian is the best

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Arch. :) I need to learn NixOs or something that is immutable / reproducible at some point.

@owatnext trisquel

I’m seriously considering partitioning the old MacBook and dual-booting into a new distro, but I’ll need to look up the process again, and it’s been quite a while. That is part of the fun, though…

Been really enjoying fedora KDE spins, specifically kinote now, was garuda before that, but fedora has been so stable that I haven't needed to switch. Really tempted to point to ublue and try my hand at really using image based distros more fully.

I use Fedora Kinoite for my non-nvidia laptop, and uBlue's nvidia Kinoite image for my desktop. I switched after I got my Steam Deck and found I just really liked the idea of an immutable OS with KDE.

I guess that also means I use SteamOS 3 too!

I personally use Fedora. It just works and is that perfect middle ground between Debian and Arch.

That and I just like gnome. Simple, intuitive, and doesn't distract me which helps keep my ADHD at bay.

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

I use Fedora Kionite. I was using Silverblue previously but Plasma 5.27 got me. I also tend to switch to Arch sometimes to play with tiling window managers.

Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. As a non technical user it works great. I made tge switch from windows at the beginning of 2023 and not looking back. When I distrohop it will probably be Debian but that will require time I currently don't have.
