Linux

Alpine Linux with I3WM

The best distribution is Fedora Silverblue KDE, I refuse to call it kinoite or any other stupid mineral name though.

I'm using Fedora - was using Arch for a while, but realized I didn't want to put in the work to keep up with/migrate to the newest tech (Wayland, Pipewire) but I also didn't want to fall behind. Fedora has been great at integrating new tech without me needing to pay close attention or migrate to it myself.

I'm a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I'm used to Windows.

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

Servers: Debian/Proxmox

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

Currently using Fedora. I love the experience

Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months

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

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

Manjaro on desktop. Otherwise FreeBSD.

I run pop os. But I can see myself moving to something non-ubuntu in the future. For server stuff I'm most familiar with Debian/RedHat.

I've really been enjoying CachyOS on the desktop, seems it's got the performance tweaks for gaming but without the bloat like in Garuda. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome for the laptop. I thought I didn't like Gnome but it's a breeze with a trackpad

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.

I'm an arch boi through and through

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

Arch Linux with KDE Plasma

Had previous experience on Linux Mint way back, then Ubuntu. Had Manjaro with‌ XFCE for a couple of years before moving on to my current one.

Moving on to Arch, btw, wasn't my idea. Someone convinced me to let him have a go at converting my Manjaro installation to Arch. It was an interesting experience, but not one that we would want to go through ever again.

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.

After using different distros for more than 10 years, I reached a never imagined level of not caring anymore. Nowadays, I use any of them, and it's fine. I don't even care to change the wallpaper or tweak most settings anymore.

For the record, I'm using fedora on my main rig, mx linux on my low-end laptop, and armbian on my orange pi board.

Been really enjoying fedora KDE spins, specifically kinote now, was garuda before that, but fedora has been so stable that I haven't needed to switch. Really tempted to point to ublue and try my hand at really using image based distros more fully.

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’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…

I have been running Gentoo on my desktop since uni(In dual-boot with the popular game loader from Redmond - although Proton is getting pretty good in some cases now). At work I use Xubuntu, again, with Windows.

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've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.

I have been using Artix Linux for many years now. On laptops I prefer to use either Fedora or PopOs!

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!

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.

Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros

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'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.
@linux

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.

I currently only use Linux in a VM, but Fedora Kinoite! Immutable distros need more love

Fedora on an old laptop, piOS on a pi2 and Ubuntu on my newer laptop although I'm planning to change it to Fedora too..after 12 years of Ubuntu and 4 release upgrades in a row my system seems kinda broken and my apt is definetly broken with many sources.list entries that didn't upgrade well.. I don't like having dozens of loopback entries when I do a fdisk command ..it's annoying and looks like it's because of snaps ..also I get every day to update something in snap store but it fails every single time ...so maybe I'll go by Fedora next..Planning to use the new Debian Bookworm to set a server with this old desktop I getting from a friend to self host some services

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

Debian and really only Debian… I distro hopped a lot when I was first messing with Linux in the late 00s, settled on Arch for a little while when I was daily driving Linux, but finally just landed on Debian for all my server needs. It’s stable, reliable and the upgrade path is pretty simple. Rolling release is cool and all, but Debian’s upgrade process is just as easy too.

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 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.

I've been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping

I've primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I've been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.

QubesOS

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