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.

I'm very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

Tumbleweed was my favourite for years. I’m not currently using it, but I’ll always have a fondness for it.

Aeon btw. Immutable, rolling, no bs. Everything in Flatlaks or Distrobox is really a killer combo imo.

Also only very little software comes preinstalled which does not apply to Silverblue for example if I remember correctly.

I switched to Zorin OS (from Windows) at the beginning of this year and never looked back. Great for newbies.

Manjaro for my laptop, Mint for my HTPC, and Debian for my servers.

I can't define one favorite distro. I change my daily driver sometimes but it's always something Arch based, even though I think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is the ultimately best distro/base.

Really depends on what you do and value. I use lots of kde software, so kde distros are my go to. then one big diffrence between distros is how they get updated. do you want the latest updates asap on the costs of stability, or do you want an effing never crashing distro but lag behind in updates a few months/years, or a middleground.

These are the two points i considered when i choose.

Screw distros, just use Arch

[–] witx@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago

And we all know Arch isn't a distro right?
