Linux

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.

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!

Guix. It's awesome to know exactly what I have installed and be able to replicate it on other machines.

Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

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, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works

Debian, for ultimate stability, Fedora for every day, and Arch for my project box.

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Arch. :) I need to learn NixOs or something that is immutable / reproducible at some point.

Currently using Fedora. I love the experience

I tend to use Ubuntu most of the time - because I am familiar with it. Then again I have been using Linux for over 25 years and am a professional Linux Admin - so I am familiar with most of them!

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

I used Fedora for a while but now I'm using OpenSUSE and I like it

Slackware 15 on desktop, Devuan 4 on laptop, Rocky 8 on my RPI and LineageOS 18 on my phone. Slackware is really awesome.

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.

xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i'm probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.

Alpine is honestly my go to

I switched from Windows 10 to Nobara last month when I built my new PC! I used Ubuntu back in 2012-2013 but I ended up switching back to Windows. Now that I'm much older my priorities have changed and with the big push for Linux gaming in recent years it seemed like a no-brainer to me. I always enjoyed the tinkering back in the day and now I feel at home.

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.

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

Fedora all the way. I've been using it for 6-7 years now, I simply love how it is pretty stable, while still being able to have mostly up-to-date software. And I never had any issues during versions upgrades. And I guess that I can also count SteamOS as a distribution that I use thanks to my Steam Deck.

I just recently switched to Arch and I gotta say, the AUR is indispensible! Also really like how fast pacman is.

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.

Been using ubuntu for quite sometime now it just works for me. Not much setup needed and currently has most of the support of my favorite programs.

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.

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.

Manjaro for the best 🥰

Pop_OS on both laptop and desktop, since it has integrated nvidia graphic drivers and handles them without too much hassle. Before switching to Pop_OS I used to use Fedora for many years.

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 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!

Long time Kubuntu user.

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.

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

After some hopping, I've been settled on Fedora KDE spin for a while because it just works for me.

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.

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

I use Arch Linux on my laptop and debian on my desktop. I'm currently working towards setting up a server on my desktop, just need to figure out where to start and what I want in it. I personally love Arch for it's repos as it's all there at my fingertips if I want to download them.

In terms of DE/WM I use qtile on arch and cinnamon on debian. I don't know what I'd do without qtile lol not sure if I'd ever switch it as my main WM.

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.

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

Also Raspbian on a raspberry.

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.

@owatnext trisquel

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.

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

Nobora KDE

I was a longtime Arch user 10+ years up until recently when I decided to give Void Linux a shot. In hindsight I wish that I'd made the switch earlier as I love it !

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.
