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.

[–] Liome@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I used to run manjaro, but after some problems I decided to cut the middle man, and jumped to arch.
So now I use arch btw.

Arch for personal and Alma Linux on my servers, but have been playing with the thought of NixOS for a while. With the new Red Head changes though I think I'll migrate my servers to NixOS soon. Maybe my personal setup will follow after that.

I have a T420 running Void Linux, another T420 running Mint, a T430 running Arch, and a T16 running EndeavourOS.

[–] butter@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My T420 runs MX Linux, but I've considered switching to Mint. Hows it run?

As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and I’m loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.

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

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

Endevour OS, with Hyprland WM

[–] MrBubbles96@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Arch, or, well, EndeavourOS to be exact. Have it on both my Desktop and Laptop. It + XFCE cured my distrohoping

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.

Ubuntu studio for it's real time kernel and music software. Connecting a MIDI controller is a pain and I only ever did music stuff few times with it. Now I use it for anything but music.

My other computer has just plain ubuntu.

Using Fedora 38 right now. Good stuff

[–] tom@lmmy.tvdl.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Favorite? Arch. However I am using Ubuntu on all my server systems. Currently don’t have any desktop Linux systems.

[–] deerdelighted@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Gentoo on my desktop and Mint on my work laptop. At work I just need everything to work, so I don't want to have to deal with some build related issues.

[–] Kurt@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu 22.10

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Xubuntu 22.04.

[–] Junkdata@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pinebook pro has manjaro will be going slackware once i order the nvme adapter to install it there.

Arch. Super happy with it. Been running it on all computers for a decade or so.

[–] Fer24@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm starting in the Linux world, so, my distro is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

[–] thenamesmas@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

I just kind of settled with Pop but something broke miserably and now in sitting on KDE Neon

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Debian since 1.1

[–] retnuh@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Been using Linux for the past 10 years and have tried just about every distro. I decided to stop hopping and have been on Fedora for the past year and a half. Fedora has worked great for me and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon. Also should add I use KDE fedora because I can’t stand gnome

[–] odium@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Arch with a Sway wm

[–] Tentaclius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora. Cause it's the distro of choice of my employer and I'm just lazy.

[–] nqvst@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

EndevourOS, running gnome and x11 for better gaming performance.

[–] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.

MX Linux. I can customize and use many obsecure programs really easily.

[–] 18107@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.
