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!

    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.)

      The thought that Debian will continue into the future feels comforting. How cool it would be if in 5000AD kids on Mars or Europa are running Debian 100?

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

      Tell me about it…

      The only reason I might, in the distant future, ever consider changing again is this project, which hopefully would be something between NixOS and Qubes. But that is far in the future and not even that certain.

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

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

      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.

    I’ve used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I’ve therefore just stuck with it. I don’t always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)

    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
