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!
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.)
Arch Linux. Always very up-to-date and the AUR is huge. No dealing with PPAs or snaps or flatpaks or appimages. Just
paru -S any-software-ever-made. Also very streamlined (systemd for everything lol) and well documented. I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren’t good at Haskell. Terrible documentation.For servers it’s definitely Debian + docker.
EndeavourOS on my desktop, Red Hat and Ubuntu on servers(at work).
Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
Yes! My coworker does this and I think it’s pretty cool.
I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
Tell me about it…
The only reason I might, in the distant future, ever consider changing again is this project, which hopefully would be something between NixOS and Qubes. But that is far in the future and not even that certain.
Debian on my gaming desktop and Ubuntu on the family laptop.
arch
btw
Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)
I’ve been a daily fedora user for the half year. Initially I started off with ElementaryOS but it was so filled with bugs, and glitches, so it didnt last for more than a couple of months. While the fedora experience is way more streamlined.
Slackware
Ubuntu for life. Unpopular opinion i know, please don’t stone.
umm it’s literally the most popular distro
Arch, Debian, NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, Raspbian, GrapheneOS[Android]
Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.
xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i’m probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.
