Btw I use Archlinux
I switched to it 50% for the AUR: I regularly install softwares not from the classic repos, and the AUR is a godsend compared to cloning a Github, make install and thinking about updating it. The rest is a mix of the ArchWiki, its lightness and openness.
We’re an all-linux household.
- Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
- Garuda on my Framework laptop
- Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
- Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.
I use ArchLinux BTW, because
- It’s very minimal, no bloatware
- AUR
3. I feel superior - It just works™*
I use Debian because it’s what I’ve been using for the last twenty-two years.
Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.
Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.

M2 Macbook Air for personal use and my freelance work and an AMD Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700 XT with Ubuntu for ML/AI hobby work and Windows 11 for some minor gaming here and there.
Artix Linux, cuz systemd isn’t minimal enough for my insanity, and I don’t have time to compile Gentoo rn
Archcraft with hyprland because it works exactly the way i want it to.
Chromebook because I just dont fucking care anymore.
Dude, except for gaming, Chromebook is the unironically the best laptop platform I have found. If you get one that’s not cheaped-out on its hardware, then it does the simple stuff quickly, quite well, and without any extra nonsense, and then you install Crostini and you have a full-featured Linux environment with excellent driver support. If you want gaming you’re screwed, but for everything else it’s clearly superior IMO.
I was 100 into Stadia for gaming on my laptop before it was axed. I’m still bitter about that.
I used to play Serious Sam on Stadia on my (not overly fancy) Chromebook and it worked smoothly 99% of the time. All those games, yeah it was sad :-(.
at least I got a couple grand payback. i used that to get a steam deck which is pretty magical.
