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!
I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
Slackware
I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
NixOS. Declarative config with opt-in state is awesome.
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.
Debian 12 for now is a great investment for the next 5 years, tho.
Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
Manjaro for the best 🥰
Manjaro + SteamOS. Wanted to refresh myself on gaming with Linux/Proton prior to the Deck launch and Manjaro seemed the most similar. Helped that my Win11 install decided to crash explorer.exe every 5 seconds around the same time.
arch
I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself
Manjaro. I am a guy of habits, so I never really distro-hopped, I once tried to install Arch and failed to configure everything so I tried endeavour and failed too (which would mean I am not a tech guy either ;). Ultimately, I’d say that the distribution does not matters much once you are used to it, you can always get what you want from any of them. The only thing I really like in comparison with others is pacman :)
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.
