Linux

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

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

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.

Fedora because it just works

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.

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.

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers

I'm running Ubuntu for my servers, with kali on my laptop

Fedora on my desktop, Alpine on cloud servers, Debian on my Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu for work. Also messing around with Arch, Debian, and PeppermintOS on some older boxes.

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

Endeavor OS. I've been sticking to solely Arch or Arch-based distros since 2017 and I've been pretty happy so far.

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

Servers: Debian/Proxmox

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

Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.

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.

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.

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.

Mostly Gentoo with a sprinkle of Arch and Debian. It used to be Ubuntu, then Arch, but Gentoo has opened up so much for me - I just cannot go back to a binary distro.

At this point most issues I run into at work where it's not Gentoo - I just nod and smile, and wish we had switched to it already. And then proceed finding a workaround because that's the best Ubuntu and the likes can offer.

Been using ubuntu for quite sometime now it just works for me. Not much setup needed and currently has most of the support of my favorate programs.

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

I personally use Fedora. It just works and is that perfect middle ground between Debian and Arch.

That and I just like gnome. Simple, intuitive, and doesn't distract me which helps keep my ADHD at bay.

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 use Crystal Linux (Arch-based) on my computers, Debian on my servers.

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

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.

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.

I use Fedora Kinoite for my non-nvidia laptop, and uBlue's nvidia Kinoite image for my desktop. I switched after I got my Steam Deck and found I just really liked the idea of an immutable OS with KDE.

I guess that also means I use SteamOS 3 too!

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

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

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.

Currently using Fedora. I love the experience

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.

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

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

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…

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 seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.

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.

Nobora KDE

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 used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.

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.
