Linux

I'm currently using Debian Unstable. I used Fedora for a long time, but it got noticeably worse when IBM bought Red Hat. I also like Arch, btw. I have tried a bunch of other distros too, but they all have some quirk that annoys me (*buntu has Snap, Pop!_OS and Mint don't support KDE officially, OpenSUSE is based around YaST, Elementary is weird about software installation, Manjaro fails at basic security 101 and keeps DDoSing the AUR due to bugs, etc.)

I have not tried NixOS yet, but I keep seeing it recommended, so I'll have to try it.

Been using PopOS for the last 2 years (ish) with zero issues. It's been a delight!

Still Arch on main desktop, but slowly moving towards NixOS everywhere.

Arch for the last 8ish years. I'm interested in switching to something immutable and with a declarative package manager, but every time I try something else I end up back on arch. It works and has all the packages I use ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fedora Workstation. It's fast and stable.

Everything I use is available either as a Flatpak or a RPM.

For me it's tumbleweed at the moment it's defaults like btrfs and snapper are how I used to setup fedora. Then there's the tools like OBS and yast that are super useful it's rolling but well tested before it gets to you

For now, it's Debian 12 with KDE Plasma. But I'm really interested in Immutable Systems. I like OpenSuse Kapla, but the KDE Integration is still in alpha. There are still a few shortcomings with the only flatpak approach, like the fact that the Steam Flatpak can't provide smooth wireless controller support because of lacking permissions.

Here's an incomplete list of my daily drivers since...well, I'm old.

• QNX Neutrino
• Mandrake 7.2
• RedHat 7.1
• Went back to Windoze for quite a while
• Gentoo
• Ubuntu (quite a leap there)
• OS X
• Linux Mint
• Debian
• LMDE
• Fedora
• KDE Neon
• macOS
• Fedora Asahi

I'm sure I've missed the odd one or two (and I regularly jumped back and forth with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint for years and years).

I used to distro hop a lot, so if I only used it for less than a month, I haven't bothered to list it.

Zorin OS. No muss, no fuss. I've been wanting to hop to Endeavor or Pop! just to do something different.

I mainly play games and watch movies.

Modified Ubuntu, Snap-less...

Trisquel GNU / Linux. The kernel is 100% libre so you can do your computing in freedom.

I'll only mention it because I haven't seen it yet, I just installed endeavor os and it's been pretty Great

I used Feren OS for a long time, but now i prefer Cachy OS and Vanilla Arch on my laptop, both with KDE Plasma

Every time I try something different I always come back to arch + swaywm

Vanilla ass Ubuntu. I spent 25 years finding the right distro, this is good enough. My first love was Mandrake.

Linux Mint because it just works.

Arch on my main pc, and Ubuntu on my server, only reason it's Ubuntu is I needed 6.2 kernel for my Intel arc encoding card and debian based for the arrs

OpenSuse leap

Linux Mint. Seriously, seriously good. Very fast, very light, looks amazing, has full access to all Ubuntu apps, runs Flatpak, is stable and solid. Sane defaults across the system.

Highly recommend it.

Void linux became my second nature. It's design is great, runit and xbps are just awesome. Can't recomend more. P.S. I also switched to Void from Fedora

Trisquel GNU+Linux on my Librebooted ThinkPad X200

Arch, btw. With GNOME.

Arch btw

Manjaro with KDE. I've only been running Linux for a month, and found Arch a bit intimidating, so to me Manjaro was the closest I dare fly to the sun. Really liking it so far.

I'm also on Fedora and love it, but I'm thinking of switching to OpenMandriva ROME. OpenSUSE's Tumbleweed is another option.

If you are a KDE user or are interested in it, I've been running KDE Neon for a few months and don't plan on changing any time soon. Stable release, Ubuntu LTS based without the forced snaps (though snaps are in the repos if you want them), comes with the standard Ubuntu LTS repos and flatpak installed out of the box, with the one difference there being that it will update to the latest stable version of KDE software as it's released. Basically a de-snapped Kubuntu LTS with all the latest KDE stuff. Works great for me.
