What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

    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.)

      The thought that Debian will continue into the future feels comforting. How cool it would be if in 5000AD kids on Mars or Europa are running Debian 100?

      Tell me about it…

      The only reason I might, in the distant future, ever consider changing again is this project, which hopefully would be something between NixOS and Qubes. But that is far in the future and not even that certain.

      Same here. It’s made my life a whole lot easier since on previous distros, I had to depend on documenting manual hacks I had done.

      Fellow NixOS traveller. I used Nix for work and never saw the appeal of a whole OA built around it but when I saw a tutorial with the declarative config I was instantly sold.

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

    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.

      Perhaps check out NixOS

    Fedora, because it just works and it ships recent software versions.

    I also like Fedora Silverblue, and projects like ublue are very interesting in my opinion.

    Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Long are gone the days where I used to tinker with different Linux flavors.

    Fortunately, I can afford powerful enough systems so I do not have to be worried about optimizing every single aspect of the OS.

    I want things just to work out of the box. I am aware that this applies to more distros than Ubuntu, but I just do not have the time and energy anymore.

    Just Ubuntu. I have tried plenty of others but Ubuntu just seems to tick most boxes for me.

    EDIT: I am looking forward to the new Pop! when it comes out, I will surely give it a try, No idea if I will switch then though.

    I use gentoo everywhere, from my nas to my webserver and my pc and laptop.

    With binhost and distcc it’s really not bad and the customizability is just unmatched.

    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.
