Linux

Debian testing w. KDE on the desktop, & stable on my vps

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

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.

Manjaro KDE for last few years

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

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just donloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1

Gnu guix

Pop_OS on the desktop. Still haven't found the fortitude to change the OS on the Asus laptop.

Hanna Montana Linux as my daily driver. Endeavouros for work.

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

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.

I personally use NixOS (unstable) on my PC and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop (didn't have time to switch it to NixOS).

I also use NixOS on my Pi 4

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

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'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)

I've hopped distros in the past, chasing the holy grail of "optimization". Turned out I never noticed much difference with using plain Ubuntu. So I'm using that now for years. It works. Lots of people use it, so if I run in a problem, probably someone else already found the solution. And you can alwsys consult the arch wiki to solve Ubuntu problems... 😉

My laptop is on Manjaro and has been running flawlessly for years ...such a great experience with gnome 40+

My desktop is also on Manjaro, and things could not be more different. No Wayland, no animations in the gnome desktop, visual glitches since the last update ...guess it doesn't play well with Nvidia drivers. Anyone managing something decent with gnome+Nvidia?

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

I use Pop OS! on my daily computer and laptop and Ubuntu on my home server

Linux Mint, it just works

Gentoo Linux. I am too particular about my system to use anything else.

Takes a lot of time to set up and get running, but once you have it running it's rock solid.

Currently i'm on Arch. Mostly because it's the easiest option for me to get a Plasma Desktop that's up to date. KDE moves so fast nowadays, that i want to be on the edge.

My initial Linux years ago was RedHat, then Fedora. Since then I’ve generally used Ubuntu mainline with a healthy pile of Gnome customization. Right now I’m looking at Kubuntu or KDE Neon, since I’m finding I prefer KDE Plasma to Gnome.

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 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.

Alpine is honestly my go to

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.

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

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.

Proxmox on server with Debian VMs. Debian 12 with KDE Plasma on workstation. So basically Debian all the way.

Have used Linux Mint and Pop!_OS in the past, but the name of the latter is annoying enough to make me use something else.

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 💙

Kubuntu, not much configuration and pretty accessible for me !

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 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.

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

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.

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

Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.

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.

Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯

Endeavor OS. I've been sticking to solely Arch or Arch-based distros since 2017 and I've been pretty happy so far.

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.

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