EndeavourOS, but only since a month ago or so. I used OpenSUSE Tumbleweed before that for over a year.

[-] Gemini@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo, mostly. Some Arch and Debian testing here and there.

[-] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

I switched away from Gentoo a few years back because I don't feel I have the CPU time to compile all the packages on my laptop. Now I run Gentoo on my Steam Deck because I need to customise the thing so badly.

[-] Gemini@lemmy.cafe 0 points 2 years ago

CPU time has never been an issue for me, really. I am intrigued by Gentoo on a SteamDeck - how well does that work? I imagine a very tight thermal headroom gets in a way every now and then.

[-] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo on Steam Deck works great. The kernel must have all the drivers now. For audio it must use Pulseaudio/Pipewire for the speakers to work. Compiling Firefox just takes about two hours? I didn't time it. If it's not compiling then it has no noticeable heat pumping out.

This is so good to hear! Thank you!

I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.

[-] vodkasolution@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

I started with Fedora, then gave a few looks outside, now when I use Linux, it's 99% Ubuntu/Mint 1% Zorin (to show the similarities with Windows and explain how easy can be for an old newbie used to Win)

My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.

I am running Ubuntu on my machines and spin up Docker containers if I need other flavours.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo!

Even started a community with a whopping 16 subscribers and almost no posts! !gentoo@lemm.ee.

Main computer: Arch (BTW) because I am a WM user (awesomewm) and AL has no bloat to remove. Also because of the AUR.

Servers:

  • main server is a gentoo beast. I chose gentoo because systems was actually causing some problems and reporting a "degraded" status. OpenRC is really nice after years of systemd :-)
  • second server, used for backups: NixOS, for no particular reason. I might install Debian 12 on it one day.
[-] G59@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm very happy with Arch. Before that I was using Mint.

[-] wfm@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

Pop_OS on my laptop

[-] livie@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago

Arch and it's variants, depending on when I feel like reinstalling again, currently testing the waters with EndeavourOS

[-] MacroCyclo@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Switched my 15 yo macbook to Xubuntu. Now it works much better than vanilla Ubuntu.

NixOS on two boxes (starting to deep dive big into flakes to try to automate how the separate devices are configured and apps installed, it’s pretty slick if you ever need to reload the PCs). I have endeavorOS for an AI test box since it was easier to get an arch based distro to work with the complicated install chain of Cuda and Python dependency hell. I have Fedora on an PC my wife uses with Budgie. I have a Debian box for my 3d printer controlling. I may move something back to Solus once they release their new ISO, I miss it. I’d probably end up installing nixpkgs on it so I don’t loose too much functionality/package availability.

[-] cowmouse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Fedora with KDE!

[-] CWSmith@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo is my prefered distro.

[-] CodeCheper@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Arch w/ XFCE

[-] 0next@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I'm a Trisquel user. Though, I'm thinking of moving to Guix.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Debian since '95, (After a try with Slackware and RedHat each for a month or 2-3)

I run testing on my home devices (trixie now). Totally happy with it. (I really don't like the rpm based ones, even more so since IBM bought RedHat) Tried Ubuntu once, didn't know how fast to get back after the 1st major upgrade killed my system years ago.

I used ctwm since '96, switched to xfce4 in '18 (and use it as wm), ctwm is still in use for vnc connections on the rpi.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Fedora because they keep the packages updated. I could go with Arch, but the amount of updates per day is too high.

[-] Geose@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I've been maining endeavouros for a little over a year now. It's oddly easier than any other os I've ever run.

[-] anton@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fedora, it’s running great on my older ThinkPad

[-] StimulatedYorkie@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Arch and Debian. In the future I’ll probably move to something without systemd, but for now this is what I use. I don’t understand why so many people use Ubuntu and even fedora now with this REHL controversy. Why would choose to use a corporate distro when others are also just as good? Doesn’t that negate the purpose of using linux and free software in the first place? (This applies to popos, linux mint Ubuntu, and all those other Ubuntu OSes)

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.
