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!

Arch Linux. Always very up-to-date and the AUR is huge. No dealing with PPAs or snaps or flatpaks or appimages. Just
paru -S any-software-ever-made
. Also very streamlined (systemd for everything lol) and well documented. I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren’t good at Haskell. Terrible documentation.For servers it’s definitely Debian + docker.

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.

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.)

Linux Mint with Mate DE.
- nrab ( @nrab@sh.itjust.works ) 13•1 year ago
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
- aha ( @aha@beehaw.org ) 13•1 year ago
I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself
- dr_doorknob ( @dr_doorknob@lemmy.ml ) 12•1 year ago
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.

I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
- lckdscl [they/them] ( @lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats ) English10•1 year ago
Arch Linux everywhere. I’m curious about NixOS but I don’t have the time to tinker anymore.

Arch on everything, including servers. It’s just so easy to install everything via the AUR & configure everything easily. Plus the wiki is amazing. Although it is a pain to setup sometimes

I’ve been a daily fedora user for the half year. Initially I started off with ElementaryOS but it was so filled with bugs, and glitches, so it didnt last for more than a couple of months. While the fedora experience is way more streamlined.

NixOS. Declarative config with opt-in state is awesome.
- JCSpark ( @JCSpark@lemmy.ca ) 9•1 year ago
Mint with Cinnamon is my daily driver on my desktop and laptop for almost 3 years now. I ran a company for a while using Linux and managed to find everything I needed for software to run administration. It was great. I still have a windows tablet for troubleshooting and equipment specific requests, but I always feel weird logging into it.

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.
