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.

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.

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
I'm currently using Arch (btw), but I have been hearing the distant call of NixOS lately...
I miss slackware.
It still kinda exists, but really has become a ghost of its former self.

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
postmarketOS and UbuntuTouch
Kubuntu
Tiny Core runs on my 25 year old Pentium 2.
Another NixOS user.
:Nervously raised hand: SteamOS 3.5...?
Endeavour OS?
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.
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!
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
LMDE cuz sometimes i just need dead simple.
I am using void at the moment, pretty stable even tho it is rolling release
Personally, alpine linux grew on me a lot.
Artix.
I love using Alpine Linux on my server. Super light and quick to start up.
How do people feel about Garuda? I put it on a laptop to try it out. I'm still undecided.
Been using Xubuntu 23.10 recently, but I'm kind of a distro hopper. I need ROCm and some other special (proprietary, ehh) tools that require RHEL, SLE, or some Ubuntu flavor. I also like having a working out-of-the-box configuration. I've used openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch Linux before, might try it again but it's a little bit complicated to me.
