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.)
The thought that Debian will continue into the future feels comforting. How cool it would be if in 5000AD kids on Mars or Europa are running Debian 100?
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.
Ubuntu for life. Unpopular opinion i know, please don’t stone.
umm it’s literally the most popular distro
When you take Pop_OS! into account?
I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
Linux Mint. Nothing beats your computer just working when you have shit to get done.
Same. Mint, because n00b.
I use opensuse with kde and I love it. Have been using it for 2 years now.
For server use at home I use Ubuntu Server and Alma Linux (mostly)
At work it is all RedHat.
OpenSUSE, Tumbleweed on workstations (KDE) and Leap on my server.
openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.
Linux Mint with Mate DE.
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
Yes! My coworker does this and I think it’s pretty cool.
arch
btw
same, its pretty solid for a meme os. For anything else I usually use Debian.
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
Been using NixOS for a couple months. It’s gotten easier to configure and change because of it, and new computers are super easy to setup because I can just change/apply the config and system wide changes will apply with one command!
