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.
Fedora Workstation, I'll probably switch to Fedora Silverblue one day whenever the transition is easier for my setup without having to layer lots of extra packages or mess with the immutable system.
I am currently using Alpine linux on my servers and arch linux on my laptop but I plan on switching my laptop to alpine this summer. I am currently using the sway window manager and I used awesome wm before that.
Fedora on my desktop and laptop since a few years. Proxmox on my server, Openmediavault on my nas, Ipfire on the router, Openwrt on the access point and Debian(stable) on my virtual machines.
Gentoo, currently trying to install LFS
LFS is fun. Its like cosplaying as a package manager :D
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.
openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.
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.
Arch on my workstation (home and work) and Debian (formerly CentOS) on corporate servers.
Nobara on my gaming PC, I keep windows on a laptop just incase i need it for something. So far literally the only thing I needed windows for is to rip a steam skin from an installer so I could port it to Linux lol.
Fedora Rawhide with GNOME on my desktop, and Arch with GNOME on laptop (only because there are fingerprint reader drivers for my T470s on AUR)
Debian since version 7.0 always with old gnome. I try other OS, like slack or arc, and other DE but I always come back.
PopOs! On my work laptop and Nobara on my home desktop.
I dualbooted Mint Cinnamon + Fedora and I mainly use Mint. Fedora is mostly used as a Red Hat learning tool. I do all of my everyday stuff inside Mint.
Manjaro XFCE after switching from Windows about 5 years ago. The first 3 months were rough and now when I have to use Windows I can't believe how badly Microsoft had everyone brainwashed into believing what an OS should be like. It's such a shame that 95% of the population thinks computer == macos || computer == windows
Pop!_OS because Im a normie lmao
Is used to use Pop OS but decided to switch to Arch after getting a new pc.
I currently only use Linux in a VM, but Fedora Kinoite! Immutable distros need more love
I currently have Kubuntu on my most-used Linux machine but, since a friend recommended it to me, I've been considering hopping to KDE Neon when I have some time to learn a new distro. (I've tried GNOME and I don't really care for it, but KDE Plasma fits like a glove.) I'm not extremely experienced with desktop Linux, so I'd love to hear about others' experiences with either distro and how they might compare.
Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).
Currently ZorinOS on my Main Machine and Arch on my Notebook, but when i have my new AMD GPU i will use Fedora.
Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.
I am constantly switching back between:
- Fedora Linux, both KDE and Gnome versions.
- Arch Linux, thanks to Archinstaller. (almost only Plasma DE).
- EndeavourOS, I probably have written it wrong. I hope I won't get phished because of my goddamn illiteracy.
Used to use Ubuntu for almost everything, but I switched to Arch for my desktop a few years ago, and love it. Still use Ubuntu for basically all of my servers (personal and work).
I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.
Fedora on my regular laptop, Debian on another, and Bodhi on this HP all in one that someone gave me. Twenty years ago I loved the experimentation and played with Red Hat and SusE and now I just want everything to work without spending hours figuring it out. So nowadays I just experiment on non-critical equipment, like the HP all in one on my kitchen table.
btw I use Arch ;-)
The meme aside. I use Arch, on my laptop, desktop and my home servers. On the few VPS'ses I have running at Scaleway and Hetzner, I use Debian.
Arch Linux with GNOME on my primary desktop. Fedora for other desktop. Rocky Linux on 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.
I'm currently using Linux Mint on my desktops and Debian for my servers.
My favorite are Alpine Linux and NixOS, I use Alpine Linux mainly for my home server and nixOS on my laptop. I really like the power they give you.
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.
I used Endeavour, but hopped to openSUSE Tumbleweed and I am currently very happy with it!
Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.
I have a proxmox server at home running a Kali and Debian distro atm!
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.
