I am using NixOS but it's... difficult.

[-] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using Arch (btw) but I'm running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It's kind of wild, it's not like any way I'm used to thinking about an OS at all, so I'm still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!

[-] ScruffyDux@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I was considering giving NixOS a go. What are you finding difficult about it?

I recently switched from Arch to Debian. So far am happy with my choice. I had used arch for about 4 years beforehand but I eventually had enough of flaky AUR packages and decided to just build what I need by hand.

Fedora Kinoite 38 (Using uBlue bazzite-desktop as a base)

[-] corroded@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn't require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it's Windows. I've tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there's always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.

Pop!_OS is what I keep falling back to. It helps that I use a System76 Thelio and a HP Dev One.

Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn't affect Fedora itself.

Xubuntu - back from the days with a slightly slower laptop.

Really underrated distro. It’s even very good for beginners.

I am a penguin, quack quack. What is a distro? Is that a type of fish?

[-] Tyr3al@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Simple: Arch for desktops and Debian for servers.

EndeavourOS KDE on my laptop, Arch with KDE on my PC, and AlmaLinux 9.2 on my homeserver. Have used Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, and Mint in the past.

Void Linux at work, Hanna Montana Linux at home.

I run about an equal number of Slackware and FreeBSD boxen.

garuda. arch based and beautiful. uses the regular arch repo, plus their own custom one.

[-] djoot@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

Currently Endeavour OS, but I mainly daily drive Fedora, because its the right mix between bleeding edge and stable (stableedge?) for me.

[-] dreugeworst@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Started out using Ubuntu since 6.06, tried out elementary OS for a bit, went back to using vanilla Gnome on ubuntu and have switched over to Fedora a couple of years ago

[-] Francisco@lemmy.pt 3 points 1 year ago

Puppy Linux on my already-not-fast-2011 laptop. Many thanks to the Devs on keeping my machine alive! True miracle makers!

When I came back to Linux in 2020 as a non-technical user, I got recommended Manjaro by a friend. But I found it has issues and when I reinstalled I just went to Arch directly. I found it not that hard to install and use and it really serves me well. So I've stuck with it.

[-] sgtnasty@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Hobby: Arch Work: Fedora and RHEL

Im starting to lean towards Fedora, but this RHEL news is very concerning.

I love Kubuntu. I have had to go back to Windows for some very specific gaming situations, but once Linux gets more support and drivers I will switch right back.

[-] TheElectroness@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Sparky, Manjaro, Ubuntu or Debian testing, depending.

[-] tmpod@lemmy.pt 3 points 1 year ago

I've settled on Manjaro with KDE on my current laptop. On my next one, I'll probably move to plain Arch. Alpine is quite cool as well.

[-] UnixWeeb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Arch Linux. Installed it 4 years ago and haven't had any issues. I tried several other distro's prior but there always seemed to be some annoying bug that would make me look elsewhere.

Only really ever used Ubuntu, I've tried a small handful of others but I find I have less issues with Ubuntu so I keep going back to it.

I’ve been using Void as my daily driver on my desktop for about six years now, I can see myself ever switching. Also have used Solus, Arch, Endeavour, and OpenSuSe on my laptop during that time, which have all been good. But I still prefer Void, it just feels so natural to me now.
