Linux

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

Guix. It's awesome to know exactly what I have installed and be able to replicate it on other machines.

I started with Kubuntu, then hopped to EndeavourOS and then moved to Fedora KDE. I've been using Fedora KDE since F36 released and have been quite happy with it.

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.

Xubuntu for over ten years now. It was the first thing I landed on when in a panic that my store-bought, WinXP -preinstalled PC was failing and I couldn't afford to be without it nor replace it. Even after being so grateful for it rescuing me, it's also taught me, and worked flawlessly for all I need from my computers since.

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just donloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1

openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma. It's the perfect combination!

Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the distro is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

Fedora, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works

I run PopOS on my laptop. It's been really solid, except Linux doesn't support the speaker amp so I can only get sound out via the headphone jack or bluetooth.

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.

Debian.

Just works, things are made targetting it specifically, able to get latest software if I need it by installing flatpaks.

Can't complain really.

Ubuntu LTS

fedora and void :D fedora mostly because my work uses centos so the muscle memory is already there for almost everything. void because it is cool and fast 💙

Been on Gentoo for a long time. My current image has been rolling forward since 2008 which is when I switched to 64 bit but I started using it long before that.

I value transparency, control and customizability. I occasionally look into other options (and use them in work and other contexts) but haven't found anything yet that would work better for my personal preferences. > relate

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

Fedora. I started my Linux journey 1 year ago with Pop!_OS, then switched to Endeavor OS, an Arch based distro for beginners because I felt limited due to the Ubuntu/Debian base. I liked Endeavor, but it was too easy to break and I had to reinstall it several times. Ichoese Fedora due to its stability while maintaing up-to-date packages. Fedora has been a great experience for a long time.

Gnu guix

Pop!_OS on my System76 laptop. Debian|Ubuntu on my VMs. If I add a desktop environment, it's typically KDE. I have a soft spot for XFCE though.

I personally use Pop OS just because it has so many of the settings I like out of the box. I started out on Ubuntu, but one day I felt like a change but I couldn't get into other distros for one reason or another. Pop OS was similar enough to what I liked, but also different enough to be fresh for me.

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

Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.

Arch on my workstation (home and work) and Debian (formerly CentOS) on corporate servers.

I have two machines for different purposes - the desktop is the one that other people use that I'm not allowed to break, so that one just dual boots Pop!OS and Windows 10.

The laptop is my own tinkering machine, so that one is Arch and KDE, perpetually in various states of disarray.

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.

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.

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.

I use Fedora Kionite. I was using Silverblue previously but Plasma 5.27 got me. I also tend to switch to Arch sometimes to play with tiling window managers.

Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros

EndeavourOS. Best distro by a longshot. I used openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, ZorinOS and ofc Ubuntu in the past.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

@owatnext
I'm a debian user primarily; I occasionally mess around with other distros in VM's on my Proxmox server, but I'm always drawn back to debian when I need a solid and dependable base distro.

I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.
