Linux

I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.

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.

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.

QubesOS

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.

Debian is the best

Nobora KDE

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

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.

I've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.

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.

Just plain old netinst installed Debian with XFCE. It just works.

Mint. Mint has largely continued to be good for me and if I build another desktop myself I'll probably put Mint in again. That said I've heard good things about PopOS, and if I end up buying direct from System76 I might stick with that.

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

Nixos, mostly because I wanted to have configuration manage for my laptop and VPSs, and it solves that and the problem of configuration (installed apps etc. in my case) drifting. Also nix as a whole idea is cool, but I figured that out later.

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

I'm running Ubuntu for my servers, with kali on my laptop

Currently using Nobara OS and Vanilla OS. I really like Nobara because Fedora is a well supported OS (Thanks RHEL) and Nobara made setting up fedora really easy on my AMD CPU/ Nvida GPU. The only other ones which I liked as far as the out-of-the-box experience was: Endeavor OS for Arch-based and Zorin OS for Ubuntu-based. I appreciate Vanilla OS, and while they are pitching it as something for beginners; it is absolutely not. You need to understand at a basic level the relationship between containers and the host system, apx is a beautiful piece of software which makes containers incredibly easy to use, but you still need have a basic understanding. You also need to know when to interface with the host system, e.g installing gnome-tweaks. You also need to know when the default Ubuntu container isn't the best container to use. That said, the transaction system for manipulating the two root directories and most software being siloed off in containers ensures that the shitty laptop I am using hasn't ran into the many issues I have had in the past with it breaking updates randomly.

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!

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland. I once use LinuxMint for a long time though, I love their stability and sane default but I just found Hyprland to be a perfecr DE for me. Alas Debian based distro currently unable to install Hyprland due to library and toolkit issues.

Using Garuda (basically just Arch with some bloat) because I'm 1) too lazy to install Arch myself and 2) on an Nvidia card and Wayland WMs still seem buggy for me. Once (if ever) Wayland is stable on Nvidia I'll probably look for an alternative

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

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

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

I've been using Arch for years, but NixOS may be in my near future.

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.

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.

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!

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)

I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.

Fedora because it just works

I have two machines for different purposes - the desktop is the one that other people use that I'm not allowed to break, so that one just dual boots Pop!OS and Windows 10.

The laptop is my own tinkering machine, so that one is Arch and KDE, perpetually in various states of disarray.

Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.

I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers

Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.

Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.

I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.

Fedora, it has fairly new software, it doesn't break and it's big enough to have a lot of distro specific support. The only thing that bothers me is that dnf is a slow ass package manager.

I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.

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.

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.

I've been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping

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.
