    Windows 11

    I’m one of the few people who genuinely thinks it’s a good OS despite MS’ shenanigans

    Manjaro Linux. It has treated me well for two years. (Yes, I know about the controversy, I have had no problems with the distro for the last two years).

      Same here, sometimes I feel actual shame, which is ridiculous, but it works for me and hasn’t let me down so far in the past years

        I have used Manjaro at work and on personal devices for maybe 10 years and it has served me well. When I got a new computer this year, I saw many recommending EndeavourOS instead, so I decided to use that instead. I don’t understand the controversy to be honest … endeavour is a-ok, but Manjaro was more stable imho, and if I have to do it again I might go back to Manjaro.

    Ubuntu at work, Mint on my laptop, Win10 and Debian on my pc. I need to upgrade to Win11 at some point but I guess I’ll wait until next year for that.

    Debian. I distro-hopped a lot but I always return to it. It’s like a kit you can turn into anything you want. As stable, bleeding edge, minimal or full-featured as you want, for all kinds of devices, with great third-party support and documentation.

    Currently I run a minimal, stable Gnome system with a newer kernel from backports and Flatpaks for my apps.
    The only thing it isn’t good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots. Both are possible to set up, but it’s an involved process, and I’d rather depend on regular backups.

      Is it? I guess you need mutable + persistant mount for /var and one for /home. /tmp is already tmpfs by default. All you then have to do is make the other mount points ro in your fstab.

        And how do you then run apt upgrade?

        (The answer is to write a script that mounts / rw, runs the upgrade, then mounts it ro again. But figuring out the edge cases isn’t something I want to get into.)

          This is part of the maintenance. The workflow here would differ depending on numerous factors. An automated update sounds like a bad idea.

          All I was saying is that setting debian up for immutability is more straightforward. How you maintain the os from there should already be known to someone opting into it.
