Linux

EndeavourOS.

Basically Arch Linux with a nice installer, simple and easy to set up. Hopped to it from Manjaro a few months back and been enjoying it ever since.

Currently Ubuntu LTS on my server and an old Laptop. On the server I will switch to Debian now soon because I don’t like Snap, and think that does not belong on a server at all. For my Desktop I wanted to try out Arch. Most likely it will be EndeavourOS. EndeavourOS because it’s mostly vanilla ArchOS with a nice installer. I will not use Manjaro because they are much more opinionated and do not have the best reputation (there were multiple issues in the past were they let run out certificates for example).

I use a mix of Fedora and endeavour, love fedora to bits, but I had some issues that were solved by using endeavour

Fedora on my desktop and laptop since a few years. Proxmox on my server, Openmediavault on my nas, Ipfire on the router, Openwrt on the access point and Debian(stable) on my virtual machines.

I had to debug my Parents-In-Laws' Old laptop. Turns out it can't really run Win10 in any functional capacity.

So I first tried to get Debian 12 installed and setup. It's a bit annoying if you don't have the non-free CD as wifi will be bugged even if you have the firmwares separately. So I had to go back and get the DVD download.

My review: Honestly their user management (no usermod command installed??) and lack of sudo access from the get go is a safety risk. Users would either set a weak root password or try adding the usual sudo package back in and break security in some manner. So, Debian is not as suitable for old laptops for normal people.

So I went ahead and installed Linux Mint 21.1 XFCE. That was quite a breeze. I would not install debian on old laptops unless it's a system I will be able to manage on the daily.

Currently using Mint, once I get a new laptop though, I'll likely switch back to Debain.

Debian on everything. Steamos on (arch or manjaro under the hood). A couple of rasbian instances and Ubuntu for work.

Fedora on everything. Gets shit done, and plays my video games. Packages are new enough that I know I'll have compatibility with things that I want to do, too.

Currently... Slackware on main laptop. Slint (Slackware-based) on mini-pc. MX Linux (fvwm respin), Void, and OpenBSD on old laptop. NsCDE is desktop on all except MX.

Been using Manjaro as my daily driver for ages. Tried a few others over the years but never found them comparably nice to use. Works out of the box, performs well incl in games, rolling release yet never had much stability issues, and access to the AUR.

That is, for my laptop and desktop ofc. Servers I wouldn't run on it, at least no serious production ones. Not too important home servers maybe out of lazyness (I know this well, so easier to get stuff done).

I run Tumbleweed on my x86_64 machines, Asahi on my M1 macs. I might try to install Gentoo on one machine, tried in the past but my inexperience led to some frustration. Pretty confident I could get it running now and it would be pretty fun to learn!

I currently have four Linux installations:

Worklaptop: Ubuntu 22.04

Personal Laptop: Fedora 38

Home Server : Fedora 38

Raspberrypi: Raspbian

Happy with all really. They all nice and stable.

They are running defaults. So Gnome Desktop, very few changes. I have started always installing Tmux and forcing myself to use that since I often log into a server and that helps a lot with managing multiple tasks and coming back to tasks later. Using it locally is also sweet since switching between windows is nicer with the keyboard in Tmux than in Gnome-terminal.

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.

Archlinux user for ~13 years, I'm now on Fedora Kinoite.

Arch on my desktop;

MX on my laptop;

antiX on my netbook;

SteamOS on the Steam Deck;

PostmarketOS on my PBP;

Raspbian on my pi4.

At the moment on laptop PopOS, while my old desktop, now mainly used by my parents, Mint. Plus the deck with arch. I'm planning to do a small upgrade to my desktop and then shift all to OpenSUSE

Pop!_OS because Im a normie lmao

I use KUbuntu. It's got the packages of Ubuntu, but seems somehow to be better across the board.

Debian on servers and Arch Linux on clients. No bloat and simple!

Nobara Official, I pretty much only game on my pc and have had no issues with Nobara.

Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma

I have openSuse Tumbleweed on my desktop and Ubuntu 22.04 on a laptop which I use as a server... But which has become my temporary, primary machine, as my desktop is down with a dead psu ATM...

Linux Mint (Yes I know. but multiple services I use need Debian-based sadly. I Wish to go back to Manjaro/Arch someday.)

Oracle Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky for work Ubuntu for desktop Raspberry Pi OS

Fedora Silverblue

Arch, btw.

Both on desktop and laptop, with i3wm.

I really like Endeavor OS. I think it's a great mix of ease of installation whilst still remaining close to Arch. I used to use Manjaro but I'm moving machines away from that as I need to rebuild them.

Gentoo on most of my machines, CentOS on an internet connected server.

I'm using Void too! I love it.

I've settled with Manjaro + KDE Plasma for some years now. It's overall a great OS, and has served my needs very well.

I have two machines for different purposes - the desktop is the one that other people use that I'm not allowed to break, so that one just dual boots Pop!OS and Windows 10.

The laptop is my own tinkering machine, so that one is Arch and KDE, perpetually in various states of disarray.

Ubuntu 23.04 on home media server mini pc and on second laptop. Ended up being the most stable for my use cases and with the most sane defaults, requiring only a couple of extensions. Used Pop_OS! in the past, will switch to their desktop once it's released next year.

Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).

Arch on everything.

Zorin is my daily driver. I just like how it looks and feels.

MATE Mint at work, Fedora KDE at home. I am a fan of both, I dont see myself switching any time soon

I use debian testing with XFCE. I get fresh enough packages and the only time I had trouble with it was when I didn't had space for /tmp

Debian Stable... I just upgraded to Debian 12!
