OpenSuse tumbleweed + kde plasma for a peace of mind 👍

For laptops, I've been using EndeavourOS lately. All of the Arch goodness, but with an easy installer that handles the DE too. It's as close to "just works" as you can get while still having pacman + AUR at the end.

I still love raw Arch, but I leave that for server installs.

OpenSUSE TW for me. Used to be Arch but it's just too much faff for me.

NixOS user here! Fedora is a very good contender as well

Arch for many, many years. Absolutely zero reasons to switch. I used to distro hop alot back in the day but I don’t bother with that anymore. I need a system that works and Arch gives me exactly that.

Fedora Silverblue. But when switching I had to wrap my head around the differences in the workflow of doing things. Once youre past that it's rock solid and had no issues so far.

Opensuse Tumbleweed. A rock solid rolling release.

A Chevy volt. Turns out gm figured out that a PHEV is a great idea 12 years ago

Fedora Workstation. Couldn't be happier.

Debian with KDE works great for my needs.

I've been using EndeavourOS with KDE for a bit under 2 years now (I think) on both my desktop and laptop. It is Arch based and easy to install. And for my home servers I run Proxmox

I use Arch BTW....

Joking aside I use Arch on my desktop, Raspbian on RPi1, Debian on homeserver and VMs.

PopOS on gaming PC Fedora Silverblue on daily PC Ubuntu Server LTS for small servers Ubuntu Desktop LTS for digital signage

Popos on the Framework laptop. It’s pretty good so far.

Until a couple of weeks ago I used Fedora Silverblue.

Then, after mostly using GNOME Shell for about a decade, I (reluctantly) tried KDE Plasma 5.27 on my desktop due to its support for variable refresh rate and since then I have fallen in love with KDE Plasma for the first time (retrospectively I couldn't stand it from version 4 until around 5.20).

Now I am using Fedora 39 Kinoite on two of my three devices and Fedora 39 KDE on a 2-in-1 laptop that requires custom DKMS modules (not possible on atomic Fedora spins) for the speakers.

Personally I try to use containers (Flatpaks on the desktop and OCI images on my homeserver) whenever possible. I love that I can easily restrict or expand permissions (e. g. I have a global nosocket=x11 override) and that my documentation is valid with most distributions, since Flatpak always behaves the same.

I like using Fedora, since it isn't a rolling release, but its software is still up-to-date and it has always (first version I used is Fedora 15) given me a clean, stable and relatively bug-free experience.

In my opinion Ubuntu actually has the perfect release cycle, but Canonical lost me with their flawed-by-design snap packages and their new installers with incredibly limited manual partitioning options (encryption without LVM, etc.).

Hannah Montana Linux, the one and only original!

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's been great having a rolling release distro that I don't have to worry about breaking with updates

Nixos for me! But my dark secret is that I also have an Ubuntu partition those things that I can't get working.

Manjaro kde on 3 computers in the ham shack, manjaro KDE on the media center, and guess what's on the two lap tops..you got it...manjaro KDE. Most have windows 10 dual boot on a separate drive. I haven't spent the time to figure out radio control and antenna switching on Linux so windows is still needed for radio contesting.

I have tried many and keep going back to manjaro, everything just works. The Arch wiki is awesome, and the aur has multiviewer to F1, ready to go.

i'm on manjaro kde, will switch soon to nixos if i understand how it all works :)

otherwise arch

I like Debian with GNOME

Ubuntu. It's working and I don't have the time to try out other distros.

After using NixOS, I don’t think I could go back to a regular distro. At the very least, maybe debian with the nix package manager

Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven't found a reason to leave yet.

Why is everyone saying "daily drive" all of a sudden?

Arch with Wayland and Pipewire. Running SwayWM and have never been happier with my setup.

I’ve been running Fedora for years. I tried out Arch and OpenSUSE a bit this year just to see if I was missing anything, and went right back to Fedora afterward.

Not as fussy as Arch and better package availability than SUSE (for my needs at least). Also dnf is my favorite package manager despite being relatively slow.

I’ve never tried NixOS, but it looks really promising.

I usually use Fedora or OpenSUSE, which have good software availability (unfortunately not as good as the AUR). Fedora provides selinux by default, and has profiles for basically everything. SUSE uses AppArmor, but Arch doesn’t provide convenient configuration for either, and only supports x86_64 (which is why I switched away from it).

Arch + Hyprland on my Notebook, Endeavor OS + Gnome PC (11years old PC), 2x Khadas VIM3L + Kodi (Coreelec), home server Odroid + Armbian.

EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop side of things.
