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!
Ubuntu for life. Unpopular opinion i know, please don’t stone.
Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯
Debian. Several reasons:
- It’s trustworthy.
- It’s not going anywhere. Debian existed when I was a kid and it’ll probably still exist when I draw my last breath.
- I know how to use it, since, once again, I’ve been using it since I was a kid.
- It has all the desktop environments.
- It fully supports systemd. I do not miss the unreliability, slowness, and complexity of what came before that. (Normally I wouldn’t mention this, but your former distro of choice exists solely for the purpose of not having systemd, so it’s relevant this time.)
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
NixOS. Declarative config with opt-in state is awesome.
Same here. It’s made my life a whole lot easier since on previous distros, I had to depend on documenting manual hacks I had done.
Fellow NixOS traveller. I used Nix for work and never saw the appeal of a whole OA built around it but when I saw a tutorial with the declarative config I was instantly sold.
Fedora Workstation, I’ll probably switch to Fedora Silverblue one day whenever the transition is easier for my setup without having to layer lots of extra packages or mess with the immutable system.
I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
Arch
I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release
Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc
arch
Manjaro for the best 🥰
Manjaro + SteamOS. Wanted to refresh myself on gaming with Linux/Proton prior to the Deck launch and Manjaro seemed the most similar. Helped that my Win11 install decided to crash explorer.exe every 5 seconds around the same time.
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself
My laptop is on Manjaro and has been running flawlessly for years …such a great experience with gnome 40+
My desktop is also on Manjaro, and things could not be more different. No Wayland, no animations in the gnome desktop, visual glitches since the last update …guess it doesn’t play well with Nvidia drivers. Anyone managing something decent with gnome+Nvidia?
