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.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

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.
