Arch, but not fully installed. Just persistently in installation process.
Arch with extra steps, AKA CachyOS.
lol I switched to CachyOS because it’s Arch with less steps, at least as a user
Debian 12
It’s just so good
It really is
Opensuse TW KDE
OpenSUSE TW KDE supremacy!
Opensuse TW KDE
I tried installing it 2 times, fucked it up the first time because I didn’t read it well enough, then fucked it up when trying to encrypt an USB drive. I’ve found its installer really not user-friendly. Any tips on the installation?
Slackware.
Slackware gang!!
There are dozens of us!
Woo, fellow Slackware user!
D - to the E - to the ma’ fuckin’ BIAN
Puppy Linux, baby cuz I got that dawg in me!
First? Mandrake.
Now? Debian.
Endeavour, fixing issues is easy enough.
Yes I have the arch logo as a wallpaper of my PC and my phone why do you ask?
hell yeah, endeavour is such an underrated arch distro, almost plug and play
running kde?
Yep, I’ll admit that I kind of gnomified it with the super button opening the overview (not slow since 6.0), but that’s kind of the point of KDE, we can do what we want.
Ubuntu actually. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, until there was a game which only ran on Ubuntu. And now, after installing it, I’m actually pretty impressed and like it a lot. Yaru is a very good-looking theme, and the customizations Ubuntu made to stock GNOME are actually pretty logical (like adding windows buttons). It has among the best documentation and package support in the whole Linux universe. I’m a guy who likes to tinker, but for whom it is more important that the PC runs well, and I haven’t encountered a single problem with Ubuntu yet - no kernel panic, no weird Bluetooth stuff, no apps which don’t run for some reason,…
Everything just works. And that makes me happy. So Ubuntu it is.
My first try at linux was ubuntu 8 on a 2008 or 09 Lenovo idea pad. I left linux shortly after for windows based products for a little while for mostly pc gaming. After learning more about the current state of linux in 2022 i return to Ubuntu long term release and I’m very impressed with how well it works.
I have been tinkering with different things like large language models and a few other tools which has caused me issues with graphics drivers recently but overall it works well every time
GNU Guix where even geeks are G
Recently switched to NixOS.
Nobara: Fedora “Gaming” KDE
Just installed this on a laptop. Really good. Love that it comes with steam, wine, lutris, and all that jazz preinstalled. Amazing docs and very easy to dual boot and put encryption on it. Highly recommend
it is linux made easier than windows
Thats definitely been my experience. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to game on. Simple, slick, and mostly transparent (I.E. Not getting in the way of tasks) to the user. everything an OS should be.
Nobara club hi5
Debian 12
Opensuse. Screw all the haters, it just werks (except for codecs needing to be installed and some minor fiddling)
My first was SUSE followed shortly thereafter by the initial release of Fedora Core. Lots of distro hopping and tinkering later, I run LMDE these days as my daily driver and I distro hop on the other computers in my collection.
Debian. Always have, always will
