Linux

Mint. Mint has largely continued to be good for me and if I build another desktop myself I'll probably put Mint in again. That said I've heard good things about PopOS, and if I end up buying direct from System76 I might stick with that.

Pop!_OS because Im a normie lmao

Currently... Slackware on main laptop. Slint (Slackware-based) on mini-pc. MX Linux (fvwm respin), Void, and OpenBSD on old laptop. NsCDE is desktop on all except MX.

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.

Gentoo, currently trying to install LFS

I use Lubuntu 22.04 on my old laptop from 2009. It still shows it's age while surfing the web, but it's surprisingly snappy and usable otherwise.

openSUSE Tumbleweed on my main PC. Ubuntu on the other.

Currently I use Fedora KDE spin because it fully suits me out of the box and while it's packages are not bleeding edge, they are still relatively fresh. I had some stability problems with Void when I used it on my primary machine last time, so this was the only reason to switch to Fedora. I used Void for many years, and nowadays if I get some poor hardware (like old laptops or PC's) I prefer to install Void. Can't say if it any lighter than Fedora, but for me tinkering with Void is much more enjoyable

Right now i am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But i am experimenting with NixOS as well. Bdw first comment on lemmy!

I have been using Fedora for two years now.
Before that I used Pop_OS! for a short time, but I didn't like it that much.
Vanilla Gnome was more to my liking.

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

Guix. It's awesome to know exactly what I have installed and be able to replicate it on other machines.

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.

I have been using Artix Linux for many years now. On laptops I prefer to use either Fedora or PopOs!

Debian

I've used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I've therefore just stuck with it. I don't always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)

I tend to use Ubuntu most of the time - because I am familiar with it. Then again I have been using Linux for over 25 years and am a professional Linux Admin - so I am familiar with most of them!

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

I've primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I've been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.

EndeavourOS (arch based) with i3 on my desktop, mainly for the AUR and not needing to worry about OS versions because everything is rolling release. Fedora for work the match our servers, and honestly it's probably like my second choice for home anyway just cause of the stability.

I just use i3 everywhere because tbh what pc isn't made better with vi shortcuts as part of the desktop environment....

Debian and really only Debian… I distro hopped a lot when I was first messing with Linux in the late 00s, settled on Arch for a little while when I was daily driving Linux, but finally just landed on Debian for all my server needs. It’s stable, reliable and the upgrade path is pretty simple. Rolling release is cool and all, but Debian’s upgrade process is just as easy too.

I'm pretty vanilla. I use fedora for desktop and debian for servers.

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

Arch on the desktop.

I'm using my laptop to try out some distro just because i don't use it very much so i don't have to reconfigure a lot of stuff.

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland. I once use LinuxMint for a long time though, I love their stability and sane default but I just found Hyprland to be a perfecr DE for me. Alas Debian based distro currently unable to install Hyprland due to library and toolkit issues.

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've been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping

Gentoo Linux. I am too particular about my system to use anything else.

Takes a lot of time to set up and get running, but once you have it running it's rock solid.

Android! What it technically uses the Linux kernel...

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers

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.

Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.

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

edit: oh yea username checks out

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland on my laptop but I am considering trying VanillaOS (once they move to Debian base). On desktop I have Ubuntu 20.04 and EndeavourOS (both on Gnome)

Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros

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.

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

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.

I use Arch Linux on my laptop and debian on my desktop. I'm currently working towards setting up a server on my desktop, just need to figure out where to start and what I want in it. I personally love Arch for it's repos as it's all there at my fingertips if I want to download them.

In terms of DE/WM I use qtile on arch and cinnamon on debian. I don't know what I'd do without qtile lol not sure if I'd ever switch it as my main WM.
