From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian and Debian accessories.
Servers - Debian stable. The only choice.
Workstations/laptops - Either testing/RC or stable with backports enabled. Usually use Flatpak as well.
I use Debian for my docker servers. I try to use it on the desktop. Was using pop-os, games kept crashing, replace with arch? Archinstall wouldn’t work. Back to windows I guess. Maybe I should try Debian on the desktop since it’s the only one I ever get working properly.
Alpine Linux with I3WM
Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months
OpenSUSE, Tumbleweed on workstations (KDE) and Leap on my server.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop, Debian on my server and SteamOS on the Steam Deck.
I've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.
Pop_OS on the desktop. Still haven't found the fortitude to change the OS on the Asus laptop.
fedora all the way babyyy
Switch from Windows to Fedora as my daily driver and for some gaming. Works flawlessly and I love every parts of it. Linux has such cool distros and communities
Currently, mint and debian.
I used to use Debian but after switching to Fedora Silverblue two years ago I've had zero urge to distrohop. I love that it allows me to tinker without breaking my system (which I used to do with Debian).
I use Manjaro, but I run it like vanilla Arch (for example pacman/yay and not pamac). I find this to be a sweet spot for me - rolling releases are so incredibly nice, and Manjaro being slightly slower than Arch is good from a stability standpoint in my experience.
I use ZFS all over the place, including the root storage pool on my home server, which has overall been a great experience with systemd-boot.
debian stable on servers, sid on daily driver
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.
Switched around in the past but been on Debian with KDE for the past year or so
I'll never tell :P
Endeavor OS. I've been sticking to solely Arch or Arch-based distros since 2017 and I've been pretty happy so far.
I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.
Ubuntu LTS. Started to use Linux about a couple of years ago with Debian, but felt too limited by conservative approach of that distro. Ubuntu was a natural transituon. Now contemplating a move to Fedora - don't like all the snaps pushing Ubuntu does
Zorin is nice, it's got a phone app too so you can get your phone notifications on your PC and transfer your clipboards. But Bluetooth doesn't really work on Linux so I still use Windows half the time
My favorite are Alpine Linux and NixOS, I use Alpine Linux mainly for my home server and nixOS on my laptop. I really like the power they give you.
Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros
Manjaro KDE.
I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.
I started with Mandrake, then Xubuntu 6.06, then moved onto Debian for some years. However, a new laptop got me into trying out Ubuntu again some years ago, just to see how it progressed from 6.06, and I've stuck with it since.
I've got lazy (lazier) over the years. ;-)
Used to distrohopp a lot but now i have used EndeavourOS for a year and it's perfect for me. Basically Arch but a little more stable and faster to install
Android! What it technically uses the Linux kernel...
I used Fedora for a while but now I'm using OpenSUSE and I like it
Both great Distros. I personally prefer Fedora, though.
Currently using Fedora. I love the experience
Only used Linux for a couple of months and use Fedora currently. Been through a fair few distros, but think Im gonna stick with Fedora for a while.
I use Ubuntu latest LTS for all my servers
Linux Mint Cinnamon. I've been using it for about seven years now. It offers a very good, traditional desktop experience.
