From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

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 ❤️

Fedora Workstation, I'll probably switch to Fedora Silverblue one day whenever the transition is easier for my setup without having to layer lots of extra packages or mess with the immutable system.

Ubuntu LTS, since 08.04.
