Linux

I have been using Fedora for two years now.
Before that I used Pop_OS! for a short time, but I didn't like it that much.
Vanilla Gnome was more to my liking.

I’ve gone from Pop!_OS to Mint, but I always come back to EndevourOS with KDE. I just can’t quit that distro.

I'm using Mageia at home.
I like its stability, and ease to do almost anything with CCM.

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

Manjaro KDE.

Manjaro KDE for last few years

I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.

KDE Neon. I actually love it as a daily driver. It’s stable and familiar and I think it feels quite polished for regular casual use.

LTS

I just put Ubuntu on my gaming computer a month ago. it's my first time trying Linux and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. the first couple weeks were hard when I was trying to handle the weird things in my setup that didn't work right away, but now that most things are set up I can't imagine ever switching back to windows. Even just using plasma I stead of gnome feels a little weird now, like it's too windows-y lol

Arch

I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release

Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc

Fedora Silverblue (I made the final switch from Tumbleweed when I discovered that flatpak mpv also has vaapi and the steam and lutris flatpaks work flawlessly)

I have been using Artix Linux for many years now. On laptops I prefer to use either Fedora or PopOs!

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.

Debian since version 7.0 always with old gnome. I try other OS, like slack or arc, and other DE but I always come back.

@owatnext trisquel

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 at work and in other contexts) but haven't found anything yet that would work better for my personal preferences. > relate

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

I’m seriously considering partitioning the old MacBook and dual-booting into a new distro, but I’ll need to look up the process again, and it’s been quite a while. That is part of the fun, though…

fedora all the way babyyy

i switched to linux so that i could customise everything, so ubuntu and manjaro (the first two i used) didn’t really do anything for me. After using a macbook for a bit (still my primary laptop), I found Arch which i now daily drive and love it!

Slackware 15 on desktop, Devuan 4 on laptop, Rocky 8 on my RPI and LineageOS 18 on my phone. Slackware is really awesome.

I'm using Fedora - was using Arch for a while, but realized I didn't want to put in the work to keep up with/migrate to the newest tech (Wayland, Pipewire) but I also didn't want to fall behind. Fedora has been great at integrating new tech without me needing to pay close attention or migrate to it myself.

A mix of fedora and alma Linux I like all the redhat tools and which one I use depends on if I want new shiny or fewer major upgrades

Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. As a non technical user it works great. I made tge switch from windows at the beginning of 2023 and not looking back. When I distrohop it will probably be Debian but that will require time I currently don't have.

I'm an arch boi through and through

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.

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

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.

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.

Debian is the best

I've primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I've been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.

Debian and really only Debian… I distro hopped a lot when I was first messing with Linux in the late 00s, settled on Arch for a little while when I was daily driving Linux, but finally just landed on Debian for all my server needs. It’s stable, reliable and the upgrade path is pretty simple. Rolling release is cool and all, but Debian’s upgrade process is just as easy too.

EndeavourOS (arch based) with i3 on my desktop, mainly for the AUR and not needing to worry about OS versions because everything is rolling release. Fedora for work the match our servers, and honestly it's probably like my second choice for home anyway just cause of the stability.

I just use i3 everywhere because tbh what pc isn't made better with vi shortcuts as part of the desktop environment....

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I tried so many others, and I really wanted to like Arch and the Arch-based distros, but they just weren't for me.

Honestly, I've been trying to jump ship. Suse has some things I would like improved, but I still want that stable rolling release. So I might just be joining you there on Void. My main concern with void for some reason has always been the package manager, but considering Flatpaks are fully matured now and apx is available if I really need it, I don't have much of an excuse other than the fact that I need to do some testing first.

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

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

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 been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping
