Linux

Debian 12 for now is a great investment for the next 5 years, tho.

I run Tumbleweed on my x86_64 machines, Asahi on my M1 macs. I might try to install Gentoo on one machine, tried in the past but my inexperience led to some frustration. Pretty confident I could get it running now and it would be pretty fun to learn!

Currently... Slackware on main laptop. Slint (Slackware-based) on mini-pc. MX Linux (fvwm respin), Void, and OpenBSD on old laptop. NsCDE is desktop on all except MX.

I've settled with Manjaro + KDE Plasma for some years now. It's overall a great OS, and has served my needs very well.

I wish Arch could be installed everywhere. My Desktop PC, Laptop and Raspberry PI 4 use Arch Linux while my Server used to run Rocky Linux but is abandoned and my Chromebook Duet 3 uses Debian 12 with KDE. I think I could easily install Arch on it after having my Kernel compiled and working with debian.

The Star64 still needs development to be used.

Arch on my desktop;

MX on my laptop;

antiX on my netbook;

SteamOS on the Steam Deck;

PostmarketOS on my PBP;

Raspbian on my pi4.

Trisquel GNU/Linux

It is Ubuntu with all the non-free and contrib removed.

Feels good to actually be using a 'free as in freedom' distro that works.

(Free drivers are the only drivers included, so you need to plan ahead and purchase hardware that is going to have free drivers too. Ath9K for wifi etc)

Manjaro on my Gaming rig, AntiX on my laptops. Some other laptops use BSD distros. I'll switch to o Arch olonnmy Gaming rig soon as manjaro is way too unstable and the drivers for my new GPU don't work.

Devuan.

Before that was lubuntu. Snaps and systemd bugged me. Decided it was time to jump ship. Devuan just worked.

Nobara on my main gaming PC, Mint on my laptop, Steam(Arch-base) on my Steam Deck. Virtual servers, mostly Ubuntu, but I play around with Alma, Rocky, Raw Debian, and Arch.

I also play around with random ones on my laptop. Mint is the current one, but I rotate distros for that device every 6-12 months.

I really like Endeavor OS. I think it's a great mix of ease of installation whilst still remaining close to Arch. I used to use Manjaro but I'm moving machines away from that as I need to rebuild them.

Oracle Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky for work. Ubuntu for desktop. Raspberry Pi OS

• Arch Linux on desktop and laptop
• Ubuntu on server, with containers running mostly Alpine Linux
• postmarketOS (Alpine Linux based) on mobile phone (pinephone)

Arch

I'm using fedora for my main workstation at home. most of my servers are run on almalinux but I do have a few that are ubuntu and proxmox for virtualization. At work we only use and support RHEL.

Gentoo on most of my machines, CentOS on an internet connected server.

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'm using Void too! I love it.

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.

If I'm running it on my main machine, Arch Linux with KDE. I have 3 monitors and like to have an autohiding panel on either end of the displays. One on the far right and one on the far left. With a sys tray in the top right corner with the time as well. On my NAS I'm running Debian with open media vault and I'm running ubuntu minimal on a little odroid device with pihole.

Debian Stable... I just upgraded to Debian 12!

I use debian testing with XFCE. I get fresh enough packages and the only time I had trouble with it was when I didn't had space for /tmp

MATE Mint at work, Fedora KDE at home. I am a fan of both, I dont see myself switching any time soon

Alpine Linux with I3WM

Fedora @home ubuntu @home for my server (eventually switch to fedora server)

Ubuntu @work kinda have to stay in the debian/*buntu universe, probably test mint or popos with the next lts

Manjaro (btw)

Cinnimon

I love Manjaro when I just want things to work out of the box, but I use EndeavourOS on my main machine for better AUR compatibility. I love how minimal Endeavour is. The few issues I've had (always due to me screwing up updates) have been fixed in minutes with Timeshift + BTRFS snapshots. KDE Plasma always. I love KDE software, and you can customize it for any workflow - I've got my system exactly how I want it for the sort of work I do.

Fedora. Used to use Arch but it broke and I moved to Fedora, it's a way more polished experience. I like how Fedora is stable but not "stale" like Debian. Want to try Fedora Silverblue as well.

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.

NixOS on everything but my Steam Deck which is running SteamOS.
