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.

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.
I currently only use Linux in a VM, but Fedora Kinoite! Immutable distros need more love

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
Zorin is nice, it's got a phone app too so you can get your phone notifications on your PC and transfer your clipboards. But Bluetooth doesn't really work on Linux so I still use Windows half the time
Lubuntu. I loved Crunchbang back in the day.
I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.
Currently using Mint, once I get a new laptop though, I'll likely switch back to Debain.
These days I use Linux Mint for desktops/laptops, and Ubuntu Server for servers.
I run Tumbleweed on my x86_64 machines, Asahi on my M1 macs. I might try to install Gentoo on one machine, tried in the past but my inexperience led to some frustration. Pretty confident I could get it running now and it would be pretty fun to learn!
I currently have four Linux installations:
Worklaptop: Ubuntu 22.04
Personal Laptop: Fedora 38
Home Server : Fedora 38
Raspberrypi: Raspbian
Happy with all really. They all nice and stable.
They are running defaults. So Gnome Desktop, very few changes. I have started always installing Tmux and forcing myself to use that since I often log into a server and that helps a lot with managing multiple tasks and coming back to tasks later. Using it locally is also sweet since switching between windows is nicer with the keyboard in Tmux than in Gnome-terminal.
Debian and Debian accessories.
Servers - Debian stable. The only choice.
Workstations/laptops - Either testing/RC or stable with backports enabled. Usually use Flatpak as well.
It is Ubuntu with all the non-free and contrib removed.
Feels good to actually be using a 'free as in freedom' distro that works.
(Free drivers are the only drivers included, so you need to plan ahead and purchase hardware that is going to have free drivers too. Ath9K for wifi etc)
Next to check out is Parabola Linux. Arch based and libre.
PS. Check out the Linux family tree here: here:
- Arch Linux on desktop and laptop
- Ubuntu on server, with containers running mostly Alpine Linux
- postmarketOS (Alpine Linux based) on mobile phone (pinephone)
Pop!_OS because Im a normie lmao
I'm using fedora for my main workstation at home. most of my servers are run on almalinux but I do have a few that are ubuntu and proxmox for virtualization. At work we only use and support RHEL.
Arch on everything.
I am constantly switching back between:
- Fedora Linux, both KDE and Gnome versions.
- Arch Linux, thanks to Archinstaller. (almost only Plasma DE).
- EndeavourOS, I probably have written it wrong. I hope I won't get phished because of my goddamn illiteracy.
PopOs! On my work laptop and Nobara on my home desktop.
Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).
Fedora on my desktop and laptop since a few years. Proxmox on my server, Openmediavault on my nas, Ipfire on the router, Openwrt on the access point and Debian(stable) on my virtual machines.
I use Debian for my personal servers and the server I run at my LLC. At my day job we use RHEL.
Fedora, ofc. KDE spin in my case. Stable, up to date, no nonsense and well supported, fits well for both my work and personal needs.
ParrotOS for personal, current Ubuntu LTS for business
I fall firmly in the Ubuntu/derivative camp for the most part. My laptop is on Pop, some of my virtual servers are on Ubuntu. Only exception is UnRAID, which is technically Slackware.
Debian on my gaming desktop and Ubuntu on the family laptop.
Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.
Slackware
