Linux

fedora all the way babyyy

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

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

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

openSUSE Tumbleweed on my main PC. Ubuntu on the other.

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…

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

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

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

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

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

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

I use Mint for desktops, Debian for servers. There's a mix of RPiOS, Armbian, and some other ARM linuxes for the SBC systems.

I've got some kids in Ubuntu for hardware reasons, but it's not a go to.

I really miss Crunchbang #! Linux. That was a great low resource release.

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers

Fedora, for the “It Just Works”™ experience of an enterprise-supported distro.

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

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.

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.

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

Servers: Debian/Proxmox

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.

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.

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’ve dabbled in Linux more recently and set up some VMs to see what I like. I’ve settled on arch with Gnome

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.

Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.

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

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.

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

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.

Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.

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

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.

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!

I'm running Ubuntu for my servers, with kali on my laptop

Just plain old netinst installed Debian with XFCE. It just works.

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.

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.

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.
