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 use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
What’s your second most commonly used distro?
arch
btw
same, its pretty solid for a meme os. For anything else I usually use Debian.
Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)
Ubuntu for life. Unpopular opinion i know, please don’t stone.
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.
EndeavourOS on my desktop, Red Hat and Ubuntu on servers(at work).
Linux Mint, it just works
NixOS. Declarative reproducible immutable systems are the future.
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.
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
Yes! My coworker does this and I think it’s pretty cool.
Mostly NixOS unstable. I have one machine still on Arch, but i plan to switch that to NixOS too.
Slackware
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!
