Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch with Wayland and Pipewire. Running SwayWM and have never been happier with my setup.
Endeavouros on Laptop and main PC. Loving it.
After years of Manjaro (and I still use it on most of my computers), I'm trying out Nobara KDE to see how it keeps up for gaming. It has a number of optimizations that Glorious Eggroll has compiled and seems pretty fast compared to Manjaro on the same hardware. I imagine I could do all the changes on Manjaro, but I also wanted to see how Fedora runs these days, it's been a long time since I used it on the daily.
So far, so good.
NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.
Nobara these days. It's based on Fedora 38.
I've been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it released and so far am very happy with it.
Arch + XFCE on my desktop. Have been for a while now, and everytime i try something else, I always come back to it. For my laptop, I've been using Gnome + extensions (Arch as well. That way I don't gotta switch gears and remember two different sets of commands) before i had to take it in for repairs. Was pretty good because of the mousepad gestures IMO.

void linux (glibc) + swayfx + waybar + foot terminal + nushell
If you want the cool new thing, it's Nix
I tried nix actually. Personally, I think it would make a great server os, but I do not enjoy it as a daily driver. I didn't like the fact that I was forced to install everything through nix and couldn't compile software from source.
Garuda Linux. In just love arch, but I'm too lazy to do it myself. One day maybe
Arch on my "desktop PC", Armbian on my rpi 4, Dietpi soon (tm) on my Orange pi zero 3.
I've been using Mint Cinnamon for a while now. It runs beautifully with fewer firmware issues than Ubuntu on my XPS. Even though it shipped with Ubuntu.
Arch + gnome but it doesn't matter at this point
I daily drive Fedora because RHEL is what my industry uses and it's good to stay on top of the technology.
Debian for a while, now Mint (I'm a Cinnamon freak)
Pretty happy with Debian Testing. Frequent updates but still very stable and rock solid.
Desktop: Arch KDE Laptop: MX Linux KDE
Debian testing. Seriously. That is reasonably easy to install and configure unlike Arch or Gentoo, but doesn't come with "user friendly" corporate crap like Ubuntu and its derivatives.
Acura MDX
Arch Linux with i3wm
Fish, Alacritty, Rofi (dmenu replacement)
Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.
Can't say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I've gotten to the point where I don't care about being a purist, don't care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.
I was using Fedora for about a year and it was great. Nice and stable, almost everything worked out of the box. Then I goofed up an update and had to install something new, and I chose Arch. Arch is working mostly fine, of course I had to learn a thing or two about how some subsystems worked but the Arch wiki is a wonderful resource. We’ll see how long this install lasts, it’s been smooth sailing for about a month now.
I'm using Mint, but I've avoided using flatpaks (generally downloading DEB packages directly, or adding ppa sources). It's worked pretty well so far.
I do have a handful of AppImages, but they're a bit easier to work with.
