Let’s make this place more active!
So, title. Personally after trying out pretty much every major distro save gentoo, I’ve come back to Ubuntu because it just works and I can focus on my work. Did remove snap and install flatpak, but other than that it’s mostly stock ubuntu.
Where my Mint peeps at?
Removed by mod
Ubuntu with the Window Maker window manager.
arch on my desktop and on my server
Well, Slackware of course!
I’m on EndeavorOS. It’s essentially Arch Linux with very specific training wheels. I switched to it about a year ago and remain exceedingly happy with it.
EndeavourOS is Arch, nicely setup for a “Daily Driver” PC and for people who don’t need to flex about installing Arch. I’ve used Arch, I like EndeavourOS better :)
Another vouch for EndeavourOS being Arch but with less hassle, I have installed and maintained for years both Arch and Gentoo and while I think those two are the best way to experience and learn Linux, I don’t have as much time anymore, so I was trying out fedora for a while (left because some package lagged just a bit much for my preference; Emacs and some compilers/runtimes mainly) I wanted back into some cutting edge rolling-release distro.
I prefer Arch over debian testing and opensuse thumbleweed because of popularity and gaming, there is bigger chance that if a game has problems, these have been found out on arch especially with the steam deck technically increasing the user base of gamers on Arch.
EDIT: NixOS sound interesting because it might be even less time commitment to maintain I think(?), but the initial learning curve would be more time investment that EndeavourOS is since I’m very acquainted with how to upkeep and Arch system that I daily drive.
EndeavourOS :)
I use Arch, btw
Gentoo.
artix with xfce, i ve used arch with bspwm for a while now i m a simpler man
.
Trying out Fedora now, was partial to Pop os, but liking the feel of Fedora!
Been running Void Linux for a few years now and it’s very good. I like xbps and the void-packages repo (it’s like the AUR but sane).
Main machine thinkpad x60: Trisquel
iBook G4: Debian
thinkpad t450: Linux Mint
on all my other laptops: LXLE
on my old desktop: LXLE
on my main desktop Minisforum UM500: Manjaro (But only because I have no idea how it works and Manjaro came with the UM500 and I’m afraid I can’t install something else that will work with all the graphics.)
Artix with awesomewm and Linux Mint in case something doesn’t work on Artix.
Ubuntu. I started with Mint when I first dropped Windows because it had a similar look. But I found it was harder to find answers to problems I had with Mint than with Ubuntu because more people use it. So I switched to Ubuntu.
