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?
Linux Mint with Mate DE.
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
I asked in the nixOS community a few days ago, but since you mentioned you run nixOS on servers too, what’s been your experience?
Same here, except for the steam deck. Maybe one day I’ll make that happen.

Same
arch
btw
same, its pretty solid for a meme os. For anything else I usually use Debian.
I use opensuse with kde and I love it. Have been using it for 2 years now.
For server use at home I use Ubuntu Server and Alma Linux (mostly)
At work it is all RedHat.
Using Arch everywhere (home, work, laptop). It’s boring, but it just works.
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
OpenSUSE, Tumbleweed on workstations (KDE) and Leap on my server.
I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
Arch Linux with KDE Plasma
Had previous experience on Linux Mint way back, then Ubuntu. Had Manjaro with XFCE for a couple of years before moving on to my current one.
Moving on to Arch, btw, wasn’t my idea. Someone convinced me to let him have a go at converting my Manjaro installation to Arch. It was an interesting experience, but not one that we would want to go through ever again.
Garuuuuuda. Love it. Been running it for the past few years. The devs come off as assholes, but they’re actually just German;)
I’m a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.
I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I’ve tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
I haven’t really, I’ve always been a bit scared off by the alpha warning on kalpa
I was considering a switch to it and put it on my play-puter to see what it was like. Despite the alpha status, it was perfectly usable and I didn’t have a single crash, perhaps I got lucky. I ended up staying with Tumbleweed in the end.
How come you went back to tumbleweed?
It wasn’t for me. I felt it took away a lot of my control and did things its way which would be fine if it matched my use case.
I’m currently using a mix of Arch and Fedora, but I’ve been starting to look in to NixOS.
