Arch Linux. Always very up-to-date and the AUR is huge. No dealing with PPAs or snaps or flatpaks or appimages. Just paru -S any-software-ever-made. Also very streamlined (systemd for everything lol) and well documented. I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren't good at Haskell. Terrible documentation.

For servers it's definitely Debian + docker.

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.)

I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:

I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS...

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.

EndeavourOS on my desktop, Red Hat and Ubuntu on servers(at work).

Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.

Arch, Debian, NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, Raspbian, GrapheneOS[Android]

Linux Mint. Nothing beats your computer just working when you have shit to get done.

Fedora on the desktop. I got my start on Red Hat Linux so I've stuck with it since.

For servers I use Debian. Lightweight, widely used, and gets the job done.

Linux Mint, it just works

I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.

arch

NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)

Debian, for ultimate stability, Fedora for every day, and Arch for my project box.

I used to use Void as my main distro, but then the developer drama made me shy away from it (keep in mind, this was like forever ago and I haven’t looked at Void at all since). After that I floated around trying everything, from Gentoo to the BSDs (I know, not Linux). Nowadays I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I got tired of doing everything manually and OpenSUSE just makes everything so much easier to use, IMO.

Debian on my gaming desktop and Ubuntu on the family laptop.

Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.

I used to use Arch but recently switched to Fedora. I need stability now.

Fedora, I'm not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works

xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i'm probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.

I use primarily Fedora for desktop/dual boot and minimal Rocky for server. I mess with Arch and Manjaro when I'm feeling adventurous.

I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just downloaded Ubuntu.

I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1

Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.

Right now i am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But i am experimenting with NixOS as well. Bdw first comment on lemmy!

Alpine is honestly my go to

I use Debian for my docker servers. I try to use it on the desktop. Was using pop-os, games kept crashing, replace with arch? Archinstall wouldn’t work. Back to windows I guess. Maybe I should try Debian on the desktop since it’s the only one I ever get working properly.

Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months

Fedora, for the “It Just Works”™ experience of an enterprise-supported distro.

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Arch. :) I need to learn NixOs or something that is immutable / reproducible at some point.

I've been a daily fedora user for the half year. Initially I started off with ElementaryOS but it was so filled with bugs, and glitches, so it didnt last for more than a couple of months. While the fedora experience is way more streamlined.

I use Pop OS! on my daily computer and laptop and Ubuntu on my home server

I've felt in love woth Debian the moment I used it for the first time

openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.

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!

Linux Mint with Mate DE.

OpenSUSE, Tumbleweed on workstations (KDE) and Leap on my server.

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.

NixOS. Declarative config with opt-in state is awesome.

Slackware
