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.

I'm currently using Arch (btw), but I have been hearing the distant call of NixOS lately...
MX Linux only because I have it on some very old 32 bit laptops and it supports 32 bit. I don't really know why I keep those laptops around but they are functional.
NixOS, would like to try Guix
On the laptop I got less than a week ago for college, I've been having fun using Mx with KDE. It's been pretty good so far on my galaxy book.
Linux Mint
Kubuntu
Tiny Core runs on my 25 year old Pentium 2.
I miss slackware.
It still kinda exists, but really has become a ghost of its former self.
postmarketOS and UbuntuTouch
Nobara, as a gamer first it's the perfect distro for me
i wish i had an amd gpu... until then i'm stuck with mint. loved nobara, but it's a mess with nvidia.
not sure if it really counts but I like Universal Blue, specifically using their silverblue-framework image because it already has all the drivers and stuff set up for my Framework laptop
Another NixOS user.
Endeavour OS?
LMDE cuz sometimes i just need dead simple.
Nobara is superb for gaming.
Manjaro is one of the few that tries to package sway and i3 (even if the editions are community-based) into a coherent whole. Those editions are not great yet, but pretty good and might become great one day.
Tiny Core OS, because I want a super light distro to run from memory when trying to access computers where the data is still there but something went sour with the OS
:Nervously raised hand: SteamOS 3.5...?
MX Linux. It's exactly how I'd set up Debian if I wasn't too lazy. Although, I've gone back to Debian after Bookwarm was released. I love it but miss MX
elementary!
I am using void at the moment, pretty stable even tho it is rolling release
Personally, alpine linux grew on me a lot.
Kubuntu
See, and raise KDE Neon.
Ubuntu LTS base, but with up-to-date upstream KDE releases rather than the (typically) relatively ancient releases that Kubuntu has.
Really is the best of both worlds.
Artix.
