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.

    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.)

    NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)

    Been using NixOS for a couple months. It’s gotten easier to configure and change because of it, and new computers are super easy to setup because I can just change/apply the config and system wide changes will apply with one command!

    Fedora on the desktop. I got my start on Red Hat Linux so I’ve stuck with it since.

    For servers I use Debian. Lightweight, widely used, and gets the job done.

    Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)

    I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:

    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).
