Ubuntu Server for my home-lab. Fedora for my workstation (dual-booted with Windows, as work requires Windows or Mac, and Microsoft Flight Simulator only runs on Windows.

We should definitely not war on this - all linux is good linux.

Gentoo, mostly. Some Arch and Debian testing here and there.

Nix OS, because I use both a laptop and a desktop constantly, so having a reproducible environment is key

Mint on my media box. Still Windows on my daily driver, mainly for gaming. I did try Mint for it and while I did like it, I couldn’t make the full switch.

Ubuntu studio for it's real time kernel and music software. Connecting a MIDI controller is a pain and I only ever did music stuff few times with it. Now I use it for anything but music.

My other computer has just plain ubuntu.

Arch for personal and Alma Linux on my servers, but have been playing with the thought of NixOS for a while. With the new Red Head changes though I think I'll migrate my servers to NixOS soon. Maybe my personal setup will follow after that.

EndeavourOS (Arch-based btw)

[–] Fudgeknuckles98@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and I’m loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.

[–] nychtelios@rlyeh.icu 2 points 2 years ago

I used arch btw, now I use NixOS btw

Endevour OS, with Hyprland WM

Gaming/personal project development gets done on my steam deck running Arch, work computer is Ubuntu.

Home lab virtual servers are all Ubuntu, I have some rasbian pis lying around, and whatever Proxmox uses for my three physical home lab servers.

I'm debating moving over to either Arch or straight Debian for my work computer, but I would have to basically lose a day repaving - so I'll probably wait for my next scheduled refresh to try Debian/Arch.

Arch, or, well, EndeavourOS to be exact. Have it on both my Desktop and Laptop. It + XFCE cured my distrohoping

[–] renlok@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only really ever used Ubuntu, I've tried a small handful of others but I find I have less issues with Ubuntu so I keep going back to it.

Favorite? Arch. However I am using Ubuntu on all my server systems. Currently don’t have any desktop Linux systems.

Using Fedora 38 right now. Good stuff

[–] deerdelighted@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Gentoo on my desktop and Mint on my work laptop. At work I just need everything to work, so I don't want to have to deal with some build related issues.

[–] Kurt@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu 22.10

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Xubuntu 22.04.

[–] Junkdata@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Main desktop is fedora workstation due to the intel a380 and to get my gpu runnin out the box.

Pinebook pro has manjaro will be going slackware once i order the nvme adapter to install it there.

Arch. Super happy with it. Been running it on all computers for a decade or so.

[–] Fer24@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm starting in the Linux world, so, my distro is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

[–] Simbomba@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I just kind of settled with Pop but something broke miserably and now in sitting on KDE Neon

[–] thenamesmas@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

Debian since 1.1

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a T420 running Void Linux, another T420 running Mint, a T430 running Arch, and a T16 running EndeavourOS.

[–] butter@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My T420 runs MX Linux, but I've considered switching to Mint. Hows it run?

Oh it runs great. Mint is so easy and it's basically built for old machines.

[–] retnuh@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Been using Linux for the past 10 years and have tried just about every distro. I decided to stop hopping and have been on Fedora for the past year and a half. Fedora has worked great for me and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon. Also should add I use KDE fedora because I can’t stand gnome
