From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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!

Fedora on my personal lenovo laptop, „It just works“

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I use ArchLinux with AUR and flatpak.

It's just perfect for my potato laptop.

I'm pretty vanilla. I use fedora for desktop and debian for servers.

I personally use NixOS (unstable) on my PC and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop (didn't have time to switch it to NixOS).

I also use NixOS on my Pi 4

NixOS on my Pi 4

Interesting. Any particular reason/advantage over using Raspbian?

Arch

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Debian.

Just works, things are made targetting it specifically, able to get latest software if I need it by installing flatpaks.

Can't complain really.

Arch

I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release

Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc

I used cinnamon/debian for a long time on my desktop and gnome/ubuntu on my laptop. in the last couple years i switched to KDE plasma/manjaro on desktop and gnome/manjaro on laptop

its nice, for the most part and gives me access to the aur

I have a general use server running ubuntu server atm, i'm considering completely redoing that and havent decided on the distro i will use yet. I want to use kubernetes to sandbox its various uses apart and in a redeployable way so whatever works for that
