    settled on Arch Linux, after distrohopping a thousand times, it’s minimal yet it feels complete…

    Ubuntu for laptop, Manjaro for desktop.

    I like Ubuntu’s driver support and I can go anywhere (pre-COVID) without worrying as much if a usb device is going to work.

    Manjaro is awesome for steam, itch.io, GOG, etc… Most of our games work in Linux now and its been a seamless experience.

      Crazy, this is exactly what I landed on as well. I install Elementary OS on family computers.

    I started with Ubuntu, then I tried fedora, and now I’m switch to ElementaryOS because this simplicity, but i really like Debian. In the future y like try Qubes.

    Arch, I like its simplicity (imo if you know a bit about linux there is nothing that hard in Arch)

      Arch is good for customization. But I value my time more and so rather have something that works to keep it simple and hence use Debian

    Started with CentOS, then Ubuntu on servers. I finally started to get comfortable in Linux on desktop with Pop!_OS. Now I’m getting into Arch and exploring i3wm and xmonad.

    Currently using fedora because it ‘just works’. Manjaro and stuff i’ve always had problems with nvidia drivers and stuff

    It’s fun to play with all kinds of distros but when I have to set up a box for the mother-in-law xubuntu is my first choice. Xfce is very low on resources and there is a repo for pretty much anything out there.

    My first distro was vanilla Ubuntu Gnome. I then switched to Manjaro KDE because I wanted to try a rolling release distro with a DE that was lighter and more customizable than Gnome. I really liked KDE, but the rolling release model was just not for me. I then switched over to Kubuntu, which I’m still on.
