I use primarily Fedora for desktop/dual boot and minimal Rocky for server. I mess with Arch and Manjaro when I'm feeling adventurous.

Servers: Debian Stable no DE

Desktop: Pop OS or Ubuntu

I've used everything from Arch and Gentoo to fedora and Ubuntu. But I found myself enjoying the stability of Debian but hating the lack of newer packages. The latter of which isnt usually a problem when it comes to single purpose servers.

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

A couple of them. At home my main distro for desktop and laptop is openSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it the most since it is a rolling release (with fresh and up-to-date software versions) and they actually have some CI/testing setup so they do some basic tests of packages before releasing them and it is thus one of the most stable rolling release distros. On top of that they also ahve a system setup so that a BTRFS snapshot is done before and after each update automatically and a GRUB boot entry is added. In this case if something would go wrong with the update you can always boot back into old system before the update. Also they have one of the best KDE Plasma integrations.

In addition to this I also use SteamOS (Arch-based) on the Steam Deck, PopOS on my work laptop (would use Kubuntu but that is what they forced us to standardise on), and one machine I have is still running Gentoo. All are runnign with KDE Plasma as a desktop.

Debian is the best

Debain - cuz my production VMs need to run all day, every day.

I'm using Fedora Silverblue. I can recommend it.

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

NixOS. Declarative reproducible immutable systems are the future.

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.

Kubuntu for me. Ive been an on again off again user of either Ubuntu or kubuntu for over a decade now, but that might have to change here soon. The integration of snap is driving me insane, so I've been looking into arch distros recently

Linux Mint, it just works

I've used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I've therefore just stuck with it. I don't always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)

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.

Alpine is honestly my go to

Right now I'm using PopOs but I'll switch to Opensuse Leap or Fedora. I hope they don't give me any trouble with the Nvidia drivers

Arch, nothing beats the availability and ease of installing packages from the AUR

Gnu guix

I just recently switched to Arch and I gotta say, the AUR is indispensible! Also really like how fast pacman is.

Mainly running Gentoo, on my desktop, laptop, and even my desktop at work. Though my homelab is mainly Debian, with a small number of AlmaLinux nodes as well.

At work it's almost all RHEL though, since support contracts are nice.

Mostly NixOS unstable. I have one machine still on Arch, but i plan to switch that to NixOS too.

After some hopping, I've been settled on Fedora KDE spin for a while because it just works for me.

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.

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.

Right now i am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But i am experimenting with NixOS as well. Bdw first comment on lemmy!

No matter what I do I always end up back at Fedora, Silverblue specifically for the last several releases, fits my desire for an OS that gets out of my way and just lets me do what I need to do.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 switched from Windows 10 to Nobara last month when I built my new PC! I used Ubuntu back in 2012-2013 but I ended up switching back to Windows. Now that I'm much older my priorities have changed and with the big push for Linux gaming in recent years it seemed like a no-brainer to me. I always enjoyed the tinkering back in the day and now I feel at home.

Switched around in the past but been on Debian with KDE for the past year or so

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 at work and in other contexts) but haven't yet found a better fit for my personal preferences.

Linux Mint for desktops/laptops (Cinnamon if the hardware can handle it, MATE if it's a bit long in the tooth), and Debian for servers.

I've used several distros (yes, even Arch btw) through the years but I just keep finding myself coming back to the Debian-based ones. I guess I just feel most at-home with the way it has things set up, or something.

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.

Pop_OS on both laptop and desktop, since it has integrated nvidia graphic drivers and handles them without too much hassle. Before switching to Pop_OS I used to use Fedora for many years.

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 💙

LTS

I like to keep things somewhat basic so I use Arch btw....

Nobora KDE

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.
