From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
Fedora. I've been looking into fedora silverblue and vanilla os as well but I'm chilling with regular fedora for now
Garuda on my gaming desktop, fedora bazzite on my gaming laptop. Loving both to be honest.
I'm about ready to hop back in and daily drive Linux again after the nightmare that was attempting debian w/KDE plasma and Wayland. I have a Nvidia GPU on my laptop and for some reason I did not have luck at all after moderate success daily driving opensuse tumbleweed and kubuntu for a while.
I'm admittedly looking to onboard myself to the gnome workflow and leave the comfort of the windows style desktop environment experience. Gnome seems a bit more polished and stable than KDE plasma but it's interface isn't intuitive to me yet.
Ideally I'll be using Debian or Arch when the time comes for me to dive back into desktop Linux.

Fedora but I’m not loving it. Due to my hardware I think I’m limited to that, arch and openSuse.
? If you're hardware runs Fedora, it should run anything
