EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop side of things.

Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop since 2020.

Debian for a while, now Mint (I'm a Cinnamon freak)

Nobara these days. It's based on Fedora 38.

When it comes to distros, I am a boring man with a boring POV: I just want the thing to work with as little fuss as possible. Consequently, I'm on Kubuntu. KDE is rock solid, and Ubuntu is what I'm used to.

If/when my OS ever breaks down hard enough to reinstall, I'll probably install Fedora Workstation.

After years of Manjaro (and I still use it on most of my computers), I'm trying out Nobara KDE to see how it keeps up for gaming. It has a number of optimizations that Glorious Eggroll has compiled and seems pretty fast compared to Manjaro on the same hardware. I imagine I could do all the changes on Manjaro, but I also wanted to see how Fedora runs these days, it's been a long time since I used it on the daily.

So far, so good.

I'm using Mint, but I've avoided using flatpaks (generally downloading DEB packages directly, or adding ppa sources). It's worked pretty well so far.

I do have a handful of AppImages, but they're a bit easier to work with.

Arch on my home server, Zorin on my laptop

Artix (Basically Arch without Systemd)

NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.

Install Gentoo

Never needed flatpack for last 5 years

I've been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it released and so far am very happy with it.

Endeavouros on Laptop and main PC. Loving it.

Acura MDX

Arch + XFCE on my desktop. Have been for a while now, and everytime i try something else, I always come back to it. For my laptop, I've been using Gnome + extensions (Arch as well. That way I don't gotta switch gears and remember two different sets of commands) before i had to take it in for repairs. Was pretty good because of the mousepad gestures IMO.

I've been using Mint Cinnamon for a while now. It runs beautifully with fewer firmware issues than Ubuntu on my XPS. Even though it shipped with Ubuntu.

I was using Fedora for about a year and it was great. Nice and stable, almost everything worked out of the box. Then I goofed up an update and had to install something new, and I chose Arch. Arch is working mostly fine, of course I had to learn a thing or two about how some subsystems worked but the Arch wiki is a wonderful resource. We’ll see how long this install lasts, it’s been smooth sailing for about a month now.

Fedora. I've been looking into fedora silverblue and vanilla os as well but I'm chilling with regular fedora for now

Debian testing. Seriously. That is reasonably easy to install and configure unlike Arch or Gentoo, but doesn't come with "user friendly" corporate crap like Ubuntu and its derivatives.

Desktop: Arch KDE Laptop: MX Linux KDE

Arch + gnome but it doesn't matter at this point

Devuan (Debian without systemd), stable (Daedalus) with backports. Been running Debian since 2000, Devuan since 2018. I am at a point where I just want consistency and familiarity in my setup.

Edit: as far as cool new things, I have moved to pipewire for audio and leveraging a selfhosted nextcloud for web based file storage. For a personal setup (limited users) I just installed Nextcloud office which is basically Libreoffice in a browser like Google docs. I am also using mythtv with an hdhomerun for broadcast tv. None of this is really "new" but new to me. The setup of these functions has been fairly straightforward for me and I appreciate all the work these projects have put to make the setup and maintenance fairly painless.

Pretty happy with Debian Testing. Frequent updates but still very stable and rock solid.

Fedora immutable (ublue kinoite) has been so bulletproof. Moved from Arch, which is now on distrobox, so painless. Now ~ 1 year... 2 laptops + desktop, other is destined for NixOS...

I daily drive Fedora because RHEL is what my industry uses and it's good to stay on top of the technology.

void linux (glibc) + swayfx + waybar + foot terminal + nushell

Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.

Can't say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I've gotten to the point where I don't care about being a purist, don't care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.

I've been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it was released and have so far been very happy with it.

Currently driving Fedora 39
