Linux

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.

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.

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Arch. :) I need to learn NixOs or something that is immutable / reproducible at some point.

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....

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

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

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

QubesOS

Mint these days, coming off a several year antiX and MX spell. I switched because I wanted something more pedestrian that would let me run modern diversions without much fuss.

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

Debian on all of my servers.

I've had Fedora on my Framework laptop for the last year and have really enjoyed the out-of-the-box usability. I think the only troubleshooting I've had to do over that year is some weird issues with CUPS.

I'd love to check out Void one of these days, though, or switch back over to Arch, which was my primary for a few years before Fedora. As an aging dude, distro-hopping isn't quite as exciting as it was 10-15 years ago when I had more time and energy to play around.

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

fedora all the way babyyy

I'm an arch boi through and through

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)

Right now i am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But i am experimenting with NixOS as well. Bdw first comment on lemmy!

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland on my laptop but I am considering trying VanillaOS (once they move to Debian base). On desktop I have Ubuntu 20.04 and EndeavourOS (both on Gnome)

Fedora Rawhide with GNOME on my desktop, and Arch with GNOME on laptop (only because there are fingerprint reader drivers for my T470s on AUR)

Used to use Ubuntu for almost everything, but I switched to Arch for my desktop a few years ago, and love it. Still use Ubuntu for basically all of my servers (personal and work).

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland. I once use LinuxMint for a long time though, I love their stability and sane default but I just found Hyprland to be a perfecr DE for me. Alas Debian based distro currently unable to install Hyprland due to library and toolkit issues.

Nobara on my gaming PC, I keep windows on a laptop just incase i need it for something. So far literally the only thing I needed windows for is to rip a steam skin from an installer so I could port it to Linux lol.

I'm a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I'm used to Windows.

Artix on the Thinkpad. EndeavourOS on the the RaspberryPi. LineageOS on the phone. I've chucked Gentoo on a random external drive, OpenSuse on a VM to check it out. Other stuff happens sometimes.

Gentoo, currently trying to install LFS

Whatever my Steam Deck runs (steamos I think?), fedora 38 kde on my laptop (although I don't use my laptop much), truenas scale for my NAS, proxmox (Debian) for my hypervisor and regular Debian for my vms.

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.

I am currently using Alpine linux on my servers and arch linux on my laptop but I plan on switching my laptop to alpine this summer. I am currently using the sway window manager and I used awesome wm before that.

I have a proxmox server at home running a Kali and Debian distro atm!

Android! What it technically uses the Linux kernel...

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.

Linux Mint on my main PC (which still has a Windows drive on it) but I really want to get a bigger Linux SSD and I want to try out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed instead.

I also use Fedora on my laptop.

Void for me too. Started my Linux journey a couple of years ago with popos, Debian and finally settled on void, because it's an independent distro.

openSUSE Tumbleweed on my main PC. Ubuntu on the other.

I've really been enjoying CachyOS on the desktop, seems it's got the performance tweaks for gaming but without the bloat like in Garuda. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome for the laptop. I thought I didn't like Gnome but it's a breeze with a trackpad

Lubuntu. I loved Crunchbang back in the day.

Debian

Fedora on my regular laptop, Debian on another, and Bodhi on this HP all in one that someone gave me. Twenty years ago I loved the experimentation and played with Red Hat and SusE and now I just want everything to work without spending hours figuring it out. So nowadays I just experiment on non-critical equipment, like the HP all in one on my kitchen table.
