Linux

Nobora KDE

Linux Mint, it just works

Debian, for ultimate stability, Fedora for every day, and Arch for my project box.

Long time Kubuntu user.

I've felt in love woth Debian the moment I used it for the first time

Using Arch Linux for over 12 years now.

Proxmox on server with Debian VMs. Debian 12 with KDE Plasma on workstation. So basically Debian all the way.

Have used Linux Mint and Pop!_OS in the past, but the name of the latter is annoying enough to make me use something else.

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'm using Fedora Silverblue. I can recommend it.

Currently using Fedora. I love the experience

I am using Arch Linux for more than 10 years.

Using Garuda (basically just Arch with some bloat) because I'm 1) too lazy to install Arch myself and 2) on an Nvidia card and Wayland WMs still seem buggy for me. Once (if ever) Wayland is stable on Nvidia I'll probably look for an alternative

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 💙

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.

Mainly running Gentoo, on my desktop, laptop, and even my desktop at work. Though my homelab is mainly Debian, with a small number of AlmaLinux nodes as well.

At work it's almost all RHEL though, since support contracts are nice.

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

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!

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.

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

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.

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.

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

Nixos, mostly because I wanted to have configuration manage for my laptop and VPSs, and it solves that and the problem of configuration (installed apps etc. in my case) drifting. Also nix as a whole idea is cool, but I figured that out later.

Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months

Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.

I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.

Currently I use Fedora KDE spin because it fully suits me out of the box and while it's packages are not bleeding edge, they are still relatively fresh. I had some stability problems with Void when I used it on my primary machine last time, so this was the only reason to switch to Fedora. I used Void for many years, and nowadays if I get some poor hardware (like old laptops or PC's) I prefer to install Void. Can't say if it any lighter than Fedora, but for me tinkering with Void is much more enjoyable

Arch on my workstation (home and work) and Debian (formerly CentOS) on corporate servers.

Debian is the best

My favorite are Alpine Linux and NixOS, I use Alpine Linux mainly for my home server and nixOS on my laptop. I really like the power they give you.

I've been mostly using Ubuntu and it's been working mostly well but I do want to switch at some point. I've tried Porteus but I've tried it on two different computers and I couldn't get the WiFi adapter to work on either of them. I know why it's not working on one of the computers but the WiFi adapter in the other one works just fine with Ubuntu so I have no Idea why it's not working.

I've got my eye on some other distros that I want to try but I haven't had the time or the desire to try them yet.

MX Linux, with XFCE. Has some tools built in that makes configuring the system so much easier. The package manager is solid with all the debian repos available, plus flatpaks. Sane DE defaults.

Does not use SystemD, but can be turned on at boot.

It is stellar. I no longer feel the need to distrohop. Yet... It has been awhile.

Also, for reason NVIDIA drivers don't load when I need to enter my encryption password, so life can be better.

I do not care about SystemD, and it seems everything would be easier if I chose a distro that uses it. I may just do that.

I have tried to like Fedora because it is excellent, but I always run into issues that annoy me. I used to adore Manjaro, but it just got worse over the years. Cannot stand it now. I just don't like Arch.

Maybe I will try Pop_OS! again.

Been on Linux Mint Cinnamon for at least a decade. I love Cinnamon; most don't take the time to understand how to customize it, and it's not hard. Mint removes all of Canonical's bullshit in Ubuntu and it just works.

I've been using Arch for years, but NixOS may be in my near future.

Desktop: Ubuntu, mainly because that's what we support at work

Servers: Debian/Proxmox

With Debian 12 being out, I'm back to Debian and for good this time. We got the last plasma 5 and the inclusion of nonfree firmware on theisoo makes it easier to install. After all these years, Debian still feels like home.

I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.

I’ve dabbled in Linux more recently and set up some VMs to see what I like. I’ve settled on arch with Gnome

Arch with Cinnamon DE and I use flatpak and not the AUR.

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.

Fedora, it has fairly new software, it doesn't break and it's big enough to have a lot of distro specific support. The only thing that bothers me is that dnf is a slow ass package manager.

I use Fedora Kionite. I was using Silverblue previously but Plasma 5.27 got me. I also tend to switch to Arch sometimes to play with tiling window managers.

I use Arch Linux on my laptop and debian on my desktop. I'm currently working towards setting up a server on my desktop, just need to figure out where to start and what I want in it. I personally love Arch for it's repos as it's all there at my fingertips if I want to download them.

In terms of DE/WM I use qtile on arch and cinnamon on debian. I don't know what I'd do without qtile lol not sure if I'd ever switch it as my main WM.
