Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months
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.
Fedora, for the “It Just Works”™ experience of an enterprise-supported distro.
I have been using Artix Linux for many years now. On laptops I prefer to use either Fedora or PopOs!
I've been using Arch for years, but NixOS may be in my near future.
Do it! The initial work is probably larger, but the payoff is a hugely stable system.
Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.
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 use EndeavourOS with Hyprland on my laptop but I am considering trying VanillaOS (once they move to Debian base). On desktop I have Ubuntu 20.04 and EndeavourOS (both on Gnome)
I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers
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.
Fedora, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works
Switch from Windows to Fedora as my daily driver and for some gaming. Works flawlessly and I love every parts of it. Linux has such cool distros and communities
I use Crystal Linux (Arch-based) on my computers, Debian on my servers.
Arch
I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release
Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc
I use Endeavour OS. Did a bout of hopping after Ubuntu telling us we don't get to second guess. Been on Linux Mint, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Manjaro before, but settled on Endeavour now.
I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.
A mix of fedora and alma Linux I like all the redhat tools and which one I use depends on if I want new shiny or fewer major upgrades
Desktop: Ubuntu, mainly because that's what we support at work
Servers: Debian/Proxmox
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.
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.
Only used Linux for a couple of months and use Fedora currently. Been through a fair few distros, but think Im gonna stick with Fedora for a while.
I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’ve gone from Pop!_OS to Mint, but I always come back to EndevourOS with KDE. I just can’t quit that distro.
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.
Debian testing w. KDE on the desktop, & stable on my vps
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.
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.
QubesOS
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.
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
Debian on all of my servers.
I've had Fedora on my Framework laptop for the last year and have really enjoyed the out-of-the-box usability. I think the only troubleshooting I've had to do over that year is some weird issues with CUPS.
I'd love to check out Void one of these days, though, or switch back over to Arch, which was my primary for a few years before Fedora. As an aging dude, distro-hopping isn't quite as exciting as it was 10-15 years ago when I had more time and energy to play around.
I've been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping
Manjaro KDE.
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.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
