Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯

I'm currently using a mix of Arch and Fedora, but I've been starting to look in to NixOS.

I use Fedora Kinoite for my non-nvidia laptop, and uBlue's nvidia Kinoite image for my desktop. I switched after I got my Steam Deck and found I just really liked the idea of an immutable OS with KDE.

I guess that also means I use SteamOS 3 too!

Servers: Debian Stable no DE

Desktop: Pop OS or Ubuntu

I've used everything from Arch and Gentoo to fedora and Ubuntu. But I found myself enjoying the stability of Debian but hating the lack of newer packages. The latter of which isnt usually a problem when it comes to single purpose servers.

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?

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

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.

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.

Debain - cuz my production VMs need to run all day, every day.

Currently i'm on Arch. Mostly because it's the easiest option for me to get a Plasma Desktop that's up to date. KDE moves so fast nowadays, that i want to be on the edge.

Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros

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

Kubuntu for me. Ive been an on again off again user of either Ubuntu or kubuntu for over a decade now, but that might have to change here soon. The integration of snap is driving me insane, so I've been looking into arch distros recently

Pop_OS on the desktop. Still haven't found the fortitude to change the OS on the Asus laptop.

I use primarily Fedora for desktop/dual boot and minimal Rocky for server. I mess with Arch and Manjaro when I'm feeling adventurous.

I like to keep things somewhat basic so I use Arch btw....

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

Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

Fedora, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works

Manjaro. I am a guy of habits, so I never really distro-hopped, I once tried to install Arch and failed to configure everything so I tried endeavour and failed too (which would mean I am not a tech guy either ;). Ultimately, I'd say that the distribution does not matters much once you are used to it, you can always get what you want from any of them. The only thing I really like in comparison with others is pacman :)

Manjaro for the best 🥰

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

I've hopped distros in the past, chasing the holy grail of "optimization". Turned out I never noticed much difference with using plain Ubuntu. So I'm using that now for years. It works. Lots of people use it, so if I run in a problem, probably someone else already found the solution. And you can alwsys consult the arch wiki to solve Ubuntu problems... 😉

Alpine is honestly my go to

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

Arch, nothing beats the availability and ease of installing packages from the AUR

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.

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.

These days I mostly use Manjaro, though I've been thinking of giving the Suse rolling release a try.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It works, nuff said.

I used Arch for a few years before that and got tired of dealing with Nvidia drivers. OpenSUSE has BTRFS snapshots out of the box, so if anything gets borked, I can quality roll it back. Before that was Fedora and Ubuntu.

As long as OpenSUSE keeps working, I'll probably stay.

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.

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.

I run PopOS on my laptop. It's been really solid, except Linux doesn't support the speaker amp so I can only get sound out via the headphone jack or bluetooth.

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

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 tend to use Ubuntu most of the time - because I am familiar with it. Then again I have been using Linux for over 25 years and am a professional Linux Admin - so I am familiar with most of them!

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.

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

I personally use Pop OS just because it has so many of the settings I like out of the box. I started out on Ubuntu, but one day I felt like a change but I couldn't get into other distros for one reason or another. Pop OS was similar enough to what I liked, but also different enough to be fresh for me.

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.
