Linux

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.

Manjaro for the best 🥰

I'm a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I'm used to Windows.

Debian since version 7.0 always with old gnome. I try other OS, like slack or arc, and other DE but I always come back.

I'm an arch boi through and through

Arch Linux with GNOME on my primary desktop. Fedora for other desktop. Rocky Linux on servers.

Mint (previously fedora), I just want a good UI that I can customize more than gnome-shell

i switched to linux so that i could customise everything, so ubuntu and manjaro (the first two i used) didn’t really do anything for me. After using a macbook for a bit (still my primary laptop), I found Arch which i now daily drive and love it!

I'm using Fedora - was using Arch for a while, but realized I didn't want to put in the work to keep up with/migrate to the newest tech (Wayland, Pipewire) but I also didn't want to fall behind. Fedora has been great at integrating new tech without me needing to pay close attention or migrate to it myself.

I have been running Gentoo on my desktop since uni(In dual-boot with the popular game loader from Redmond - although Proton is getting pretty good in some cases now). At work I use Xubuntu, again, with Windows.

Arch with Cinnamon DE and I use flatpak and not the AUR.

1. Arch Linux (current)
2. NixOS
3. Fedora
4. Ubuntu
5. Gentoo
6. Red Hat (first)

Switched often over the last 20 years. Considering Fedora Silverblue.

Void for me too. Started my Linux journey a couple of years ago with popos, Debian and finally settled on void, because it's an independent distro.

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.

Ubuntu for my work laptop, debian for my servers. My third choice would be arch, but I'm not using it currently.

Switched from Windows to Fedora Workstation some months ago and really happy with it workflow and feeling.

Kubuntu 23.04. Eventually going to try Mint, see if it's more stable on my machine, but there isn't time just now.

I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.

I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.

Right now I am using Gentoo on my gaming rig. On my laptop I use Arch. Debian on everything else.

After using different distros for more than 10 years, I reached a never imagined level of not caring anymore. Nowadays, I use any of them, and it's fine. I don't even care to change the wallpaper or tweak most settings anymore.

For the record, I'm using fedora on my main rig, mx linux on my low-end laptop, and armbian on my orange pi board.

Arch

I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release

Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc

Recently switched from Gentoo to NixOS. Not really sure if I will not switch back but so far interesting experience. Being able to define your entire system configuration with just a few files is really cool, plus it is really nice for setting up development environments.

On my Laptop I just run arch because I find it easiest, and it is mostly multimedia laptop. Same with my home server (NAS, self-hosted stuff, VR) where I just need rolling distro with good support for gaming.

Fedora because it just works

@owatnext At the moment Ubuntu 23.04. But I am planning to hop to Linux Mint or Fedora in order to check them.

Been using ubuntu for quite sometime now it just works for me. Not much setup needed and currently has most of the support of my favorite programs.

btw I use Arch ;-)

The meme aside. I use Arch, on my laptop, desktop and my home servers. On the few VPS'ses I have running at Scaleway and Hetzner, I use Debian.

I've really been enjoying CachyOS on the desktop, seems it's got the performance tweaks for gaming but without the bloat like in Garuda. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome for the laptop. I thought I didn't like Gnome but it's a breeze with a trackpad

Fedora on my regular laptop, Debian on another, and Bodhi on this HP all in one that someone gave me. Twenty years ago I loved the experimentation and played with Red Hat and SusE and now I just want everything to work without spending hours figuring it out. So nowadays I just experiment on non-critical equipment, like the HP all in one on my kitchen table.

I've been mostly using Ubuntu and it's been working mostly well but I do want to switch at some point. I've tried Porteus but I've tried it on two different computers and I couldn't get the WiFi adapter to work on either of them. I know why it's not working on one of the computers but the WiFi adapter in the other one works just fine with Ubuntu so I have no Idea why it's not working.

I've got my eye on some other distros that I want to try but I haven't had the time or the desire to try them yet.

Arch on my workstation (home and work) and Debian (formerly CentOS) on corporate servers.

Manjaro on desktop. Otherwise mostly FreeBSD.

I’ve gone from Pop!_OS to Mint, but I always come back to EndevourOS with KDE. I just can’t quit that distro.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I tried so many others, and I really wanted to like Arch and the Arch-based distros, but they just weren't for me.

Honestly, I've been trying to jump ship. Suse has some things I would like improved, but I still want that stable rolling release. So I might just be joining you there on Void. My main concern with void for some reason has always been the package manager, but considering Flatpaks are fully matured now and apx is available if I really need it, I don't have much of an excuse other than the fact that I need to do some testing first.

I've been using Arch for years, but NixOS may be in my near future.

Fedora on my desktop, Alpine on cloud servers, Debian on my Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu for work. Also messing around with Arch, Debian, and PeppermintOS on some older boxes.

Whatever my Steam Deck runs (steamos I think?), fedora 38 kde on my laptop (although I don't use my laptop much), truenas scale for my NAS, proxmox (Debian) for my hypervisor and regular Debian for my vms.

I use Linux Mint XFCE on my laptop and desktop. And the standard Steam OS on my Steam Deck.
