When I came back to Linux in 2020 as a non-technical user, I got recommended Manjaro by a friend. But I found it has issues and when I reinstalled I just went to Arch directly. I found it not that hard to install and use and it really serves me well. So I've stuck with it.

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

I'm starting in the Linux world, so, my distro is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ubuntu Server for my home-lab. Fedora for my workstation (dual-booted with Windows, as work requires Windows or Mac, and Microsoft Flight Simulator only runs on Windows.

We should definitely not war on this - all linux is good linux.

Arch Linux. Installed it 4 years ago and haven't had any issues. I tried several other distro's prior but there always seemed to be some annoying bug that would make me look elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Main desktop is fedora workstation due to the intel a380 and to get my gpu runnin out the box.

Pinebook pro has manjaro will be going slackware once i order the nvme adapter to install it there.

Old lenovo computer - testing and learning netbsd on it.

Overall im hoping to get good enough to just have slackware for linux and any of the 3 main BSDs on other devices.

Arch with Hyprland on my laptop and desktop, Debian on my server.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Mint on my media box. Still Windows on my daily driver, mainly for gaming. I did try Mint for it and while I did like it, I couldn’t make the full switch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Puppy Linux on my already-not-fast-2011 laptop. Many thanks to the Devs on keeping my machine alive! True miracle makers!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

EndeavourOS (Arch-based btw)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Pop!_OS.

To me it's replaced what Ubuntu used to be, a simple easy to use Linux Distro that is great for beginners. Granted I'm no beginner, but I still like the OS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Favorite? Arch. However I am using Ubuntu on all my server systems. Currently don’t have any desktop Linux systems.

Debian. It works, that's what I care about.

Sparky, Manjaro, Ubuntu or Debian testing, depending.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nobara on the Desktop, Pop OS on the Laptop and the Surface (needs a custom kernel though). I'd use Nobara on everything but I am too lazy to switch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've settled on Manjaro with KDE on my current laptop. On my next one, I'll probably move to plain Arch. Alpine is quite cool as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm boring Af, I use Ubuntu with Mate DE.

I would love to switch to Opensuse Tumbleweed, but I need Ubuntu because of some interactive board drivers that are only available for ubuntu... 😭

I have a T420 running Void Linux, another T420 running Mint, a T430 running Arch, and a T16 running EndeavourOS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My T420 runs MX Linux, but I've considered switching to Mint. Hows it run?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh it runs great. Mint is so easy and it's basically built for old machines.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Xubuntu 22.04.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I just kind of settled with Pop but something broke miserably and now in sitting on KDE Neon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

EndeavourOS, but only since a month ago or so. I used OpenSUSE Tumbleweed before that for over a year.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu 22.10

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Using Fedora 38 right now. Good stuff

[–] colonial 2 points 1 year ago

Fedora Silverblue.

Basically the same as Fedora Workstation, but bulletproof. Allow me to shill my review of it for those who are curious and want a more in-depth look.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nobara Project 🀷

[–] Tentaclius 2 points 1 year ago

Fedora. Cause it's the distro of choice of my employer and I'm just lazy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Gentoo on my desktop and Mint on my work laptop. At work I just need everything to work, so I don't want to have to deal with some build related issues.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used arch btw, now I use NixOS btw

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Manjaro on desktop, Proxmox for my VM hosts, and usually Ubuntu Server on individual server VMs.

[–] Fudgeknuckles98 2 points 1 year ago

As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and I’m loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.

I have commitment issues when it comes to distros, but the one I seem to go home to most often is Endeavour. I could set up Arch myself, but Endeavour with KDE pretty much includes what I would want on my desktop anyway. Opensuse Tumbleweed gets an honorable mention too, I think their automated testing systems are a pretty neat idea.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu on my laptop, proxmox on my server, pfsense on my firewall, openwrt on my AP. Computers are less of a hobby for me now than they used to be, so I'd rather not spend a lot of time on sysadmin work.
