settled on Arch Linux, after distrohopping a thousand times, it’s minimal yet it feels complete…
Ubuntu for laptop, Manjaro for desktop.
I like Ubuntu’s driver support and I can go anywhere (pre-COVID) without worrying as much if a usb device is going to work.
Manjaro is awesome for steam, itch.io, GOG, etc… Most of our games work in Linux now and its been a seamless experience.
Crazy, this is exactly what I landed on as well. I install Elementary OS on family computers.
POP OS and Twister OS
Arch, I like its simplicity (imo if you know a bit about linux there is nothing that hard in Arch)
Arch is good for customization. But I value my time more and so rather have something that works to keep it simple and hence use Debian
I started with Ubuntu, then I tried fedora, and now I’m switch to ElementaryOS because this simplicity, but i really like Debian. In the future y like try Qubes.
linux mint, runs team fortress 2 well enough
… and that’s all you really need :)
Tinycore linux
My first distro was vanilla Ubuntu Gnome. I then switched to Manjaro KDE because I wanted to try a rolling release distro with a DE that was lighter and more customizable than Gnome. I really liked KDE, but the rolling release model was just not for me. I then switched over to Kubuntu, which I’m still on.
Fedora with gnome 40
i’m a new manjaro user after almost 15 years of using ubuntu. loving the simplicity >.<
Debian Stable. Old, but it works and that’s all I want my computer to do
Manjaro, although thinking about Arch+i3wm when I get a new machine
Started with CentOS, then Ubuntu on servers. I finally started to get comfortable in Linux on desktop with Pop!_OS. Now I’m getting into Arch and exploring i3wm and xmonad.
It’s fun to play with all kinds of distros but when I have to set up a box for the mother-in-law xubuntu is my first choice. Xfce is very low on resources and there is a repo for pretty much anything out there.
Alpine Linux. Originally to dogfood myself the packages I maintain for postmarketOS, but I’ve grown quite fond of it and the developer community around it. I run it on my laptop and desktop and servers now, coming from Gentoo.
