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.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Recently switched from Fedora to Manjaro.

Unfortunately I found Fedora to be too unstable for daily use. Just too many issues, some (like shim-x64 versions after 15-8 not being able to boot my system) which just didn't get fixed. And every new major version had its own new set of issues. So after seeing the umpteenth attempt to automatically install a firmware update fail due to shim-x64 being too old and the gazillionth window manager crash wiping all my open applications I bit the bullet and migrated away.

So far no major issues with Manjaro, one of the things that did work excellent on Fedora was Wireplumber automatically switching Bluetooth profiles when I connected to a online call. That seems to be a bit more unstable in Manjaro and often requires manually changing to the correct one. But I don't attend enough meetings for that really to become a major issue for me.
