Linux

Fedora, but interested in NixOS down the line...

I use mint cinnamon edition on my main pc and chrome os on my garbage chromebook

I'm on Endeavour right now. I just got a Thinkpad E15 G4 specifically so I could have a Linux PC, as I'm regrettably running Win11 on my tower PC w/RTX GPU because of how many games I (and more significantly my children) play that either don't work or don't work as well on Linux.

I start with Mandrake in 2002, then Ubuntu from 2005-2013, and have been on Arch pretty exclusively since 2017 aside from some random distro-hopping for fun. I was gonna run it on here, but I just didn't feel like going through the installation process today, so I said screw it and threw on Endeavour, and honestly it's really nice having a fairly vanilla Arch experience without having to figure out my network manager, and starting every little thing from scratch and all that. Think I'll probably stick with it ❤️

I'm currently in the middle of setting my laptop up with a dual boot into Arch (btw).

My reasoning is that it's more customizable and I can more easily know everything on my machine...

...my real reasoning is I like the logo better.

ParrotOS for personal, current Ubuntu LTS for business

Fedora, ofc. KDE spin in my case. Stable, up to date, no nonsense and well supported, fits well for both my work and personal needs.

Debian on my gaming desktop and Ubuntu on the family laptop.

Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.

openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.

Slackware

I'm a relative Linux noob so I've got a couple machines with Ubuntu, an old laptop with cinnamon, and an orangepi with the specific Ubuntu image for that.

Mint, Manjaro and Gentoo atm.

Manjaro on the workstation and Laptop, Arch on the server - with exposed BSD VM, else isolated

I currently have Kubuntu on my most-used Linux machine but, since a friend recommended it to me, I've been considering hopping to KDE Neon when I have some time to learn a new distro. (I've tried GNOME and I don't really care for it, but KDE Plasma fits like a glove.) I'm not extremely experienced with desktop Linux, so I'd love to hear about others' experiences with either distro and how they might compare.

Been using Fedora Ublue for a while now. It really just works and is up to date. Even nvidia drivers and secure boot works immediately. The updates also happen automatically and are actually just immages being downloaded and switched to by a reboot. And of courss I have a distrobox with arch for the aur

I've been running Endeavour with xfce for a few months now and love it but I have Nobara running in a VM and have been thinking about switching to it because I have been doing more gaming lately.

Tried various ubuntu/debian based distros in a vm on my windows laptop at first. Eventually realised I was only using Windows to run the vm so took the plunge and wiped windows, I couldn't be happier. I've rolled around a bit but for now I'm settled on arch with xmonad and I love it

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.

I use Mint for desktops, Debian for servers. There's a mix of RPiOS, Armbian, and some other ARM linuxes for the SBC systems.

I've got some kids in Ubuntu for hardware reasons, but it's not a go to.

I really miss Crunchbang #! Linux. That was a great low resource release.

Just recently switched my main server to Void linux. I tried it because it doesn't use systemd, but then I ran across something in the install docs like: just add the commands for your network config to /etc/rc.local, and that had me hooked. That's how you'd do it in V7 Unix, ha ha! My desktop is openbsd, but I'm planning on switching that over to Void soon. (I tried, and ran into audio problems, haven't had a chance to try again.)

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma on both desktop and laptop: best of both worlds in terms of latest packages and system stability. On my Raspberry Pi Server I run Debian 11 with an audiophile music player (MoodeAudio).

Debian on all servers

Distro hopped for a few years on desktop (ubuntu, puppy, fedora) but always came back to debian

Debian #1!!

Whatever fits the purpose

Personal Desktop and Laptop: Arch Servers: Mostly Debian some Ubuntu I have one arch sever (running aurto) Work Laptop: Ubuntu Servers at work: Debian/Ubuntu

Mint (previously fedora), I just want a good UI that I can customize more than gnome-shell

Manjaro on desktop. Otherwise FreeBSD.

Debian and Arch

Linux Mint Cinnamon. I've been using it for about seven years now. It offers a very good, traditional desktop experience.
