Linux

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

Been using NixOS for a couple months. It’s gotten easier to configure and change because of it, and new computers are super easy to setup because I can just change/apply the config and system wide changes will apply with one command!

Debian is the best

Debian

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

These days I mostly use Manjaro, though I've been thinking of giving the Suse rolling release a try.

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

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.

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

Gnu guix

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

Endeavour OS. Been on it nearly for two years now.

Linux Mint, it just works

I use primarily Fedora for desktop/dual boot and minimal Rocky for server. I mess with Arch and Manjaro when I'm feeling adventurous.

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.

A couple of them. At home my main distro for desktop and laptop is openSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it the most since it is a rolling release (with fresh and up-to-date software versions) and they actually have some CI/testing setup so they do some basic tests of packages before releasing them and it is thus one of the most stable rolling release distros. On top of that they also ahve a system setup so that a BTRFS snapshot is done before and after each update automatically and a GRUB boot entry is added. In this case if something would go wrong with the update you can always boot back into old system before the update. Also they have one of the best KDE Plasma integrations.

In addition to this I also use SteamOS (Arch-based) on the Steam Deck, PopOS on my work laptop (would use Kubuntu but that is what they forced us to standardise on), and one machine I have is still running Gentoo. All are runnign with KDE Plasma as a desktop.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Fedora Silverblue (I made the final switch from Tumbleweed when I discovered that flatpak mpv also has vaapi and the steam and lutris flatpaks work flawlessly)

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.

At work it's almost all RHEL though, since support contracts are nice.

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.

Kubuntu, not much configuration and pretty accessible for me !

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'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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

edit: oh yea username checks out

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.

I use Lubuntu 22.04 on my old laptop from 2009. It still shows it's age while surfing the web, but it's surprisingly snappy and usable otherwise.

These days I'm basic and I use Ubuntu.

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.

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.

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

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.

I personally use Pop OS just because it has so many of the settings I like out of the box. I started out on Ubuntu, but one day I felt like a change but I couldn't get into other distros for one reason or another. Pop OS was similar enough to what I liked, but also different enough to be fresh for me.
