Linux

Gnu guix

Right now I'm using PopOs but I'll switch to Opensuse Leap or Fedora. I hope they don't give me any trouble with the Nvidia drivers

My laptop is on Manjaro and has been running flawlessly for years ...such a great experience with gnome 40+

My desktop is also on Manjaro, and things could not be more different. No Wayland, no animations in the gnome desktop, visual glitches since the last update ...guess it doesn't play well with Nvidia drivers. Anyone managing something decent with gnome+Nvidia?

Debian

Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.

Debian.

Just works, things are made targetting it specifically, able to get latest software if I need it by installing flatpaks.

Can't complain really.

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

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just donloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1

I switched from Windows 10 to Nobara last month when I built my new PC! I used Ubuntu back in 2012-2013 but I ended up switching back to Windows. Now that I'm much older my priorities have changed and with the big push for Linux gaming in recent years it seemed like a no-brainer to me. I always enjoyed the tinkering back in the day and now I feel at home.

NixOS. Declarative reproducible immutable systems are the future.

Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯

Pop_OS on both laptop and desktop, since it has integrated nvidia graphic drivers and handles them without too much hassle. Before switching to Pop_OS I used to use Fedora for many years.

Linux Mint for desktops/laptops (Cinnamon if the hardware can handle it, MATE if it's a bit long in the tooth), and Debian for servers.

I've used several distros (yes, even Arch btw) through the years but I just keep finding myself coming back to the Debian-based ones. I guess I just feel most at-home with the way it has things set up, or something.

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.

Arch.

I've done a reasonable amount of distrohopping, but I always come crawling back because I've never found anything that can compete with the AUR.

My initial Linux years ago was RedHat, then Fedora. Since then I’ve generally used Ubuntu mainline with a healthy pile of Gnome customization. Right now I’m looking at Kubuntu or KDE Neon, since I’m finding I prefer KDE Plasma to Gnome.

Pop!_OS on my System76 laptop. Debian|Ubuntu on my VMs. If I add a desktop environment, it's typically KDE. I have a soft spot for XFCE though.

xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i'm probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.

Xubuntu for over ten years now. It was the first thing I landed on when in a panic that my store-bought, WinXP -preinstalled PC was failing and I couldn't afford to be without it nor replace it. Even after being so grateful for it rescuing me, it's also taught me, and worked flawlessly for all I need from my computers since.

Using Arch Linux for over 12 years now.

Been on Gentoo for a long time. My current image has been rolling forward since 2008 which is when I switched to 64 bit but I started using it long before that.

I value transparency, control and customizability. I occasionally look into other options (and use them in work and other contexts) but haven't found anything yet that would work better for my personal preferences. > relate

I started with Kubuntu, then hopped to EndeavourOS and then moved to Fedora KDE. I've been using Fedora KDE since F36 released and have been quite happy with it.

I started using Linux in October 2020 with Manjaro KDE (not including trying out nearly every major beginner-friendly distro in VMs before installing it on bare metal), then I moved to EndeavourOS - still with KDE - in July 2021 and am still on that same install.

I've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.

Switch from Windows to Fedora as my daily driver and for some gaming. Works flawlessly and I love every parts of it. Linux has such cool distros and communities

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)

fedora and void :D fedora mostly because my work uses centos so the muscle memory is already there for almost everything. void because it is cool and fast 💙

Mostly NixOS unstable. I have one machine still on Arch, but i plan to switch that to NixOS too.

Arch Linux with KDE Plasma

Had previous experience on Linux Mint way back, then Ubuntu. Had Manjaro with‌ XFCE for a couple of years before moving on to my current one.

Moving on to Arch, btw, wasn't my idea. Someone convinced me to let him have a go at converting my Manjaro installation to Arch. It was an interesting experience, but not one that we would want to go through ever again.

Endeavor OS. I've been sticking to solely Arch or Arch-based distros since 2017 and I've been pretty happy so far.

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

I use Pop OS! on my daily computer and laptop and Ubuntu on my home server

Switched around in the past but been on Debian with KDE for the past year or so

No matter what I do I always end up back at Fedora, Silverblue specifically for the last several releases, fits my desire for an OS that gets out of my way and just lets me do what I need to do.

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.

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.

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.

SUSE

I used to use Debian but after switching to Fedora Silverblue two years ago I've had zero urge to distrohop. I love that it allows me to tinker without breaking my system (which I used to do with Debian).

I used Fedora for a while but now I'm using OpenSUSE and I like it

The best distribution is Fedora Silverblue KDE, I refuse to call it kinoite or any other stupid mineral name though.

I personally use NixOS (unstable) on my PC and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop (didn't have time to switch it to NixOS).

I also use NixOS on my Pi 4
