Mint on my media box. Still Windows on my daily driver, mainly for gaming. I did try Mint for it and while I did like it, I couldn’t make the full switch.

Gaming/personal project development gets done on my steam deck running Arch, work computer is Ubuntu.

Home lab virtual servers are all Ubuntu, I have some rasbian pis lying around, and whatever Proxmox uses for my three physical home lab servers.

I'm debating moving over to either Arch or straight Debian for my work computer, but I would have to basically lose a day repaving - so I'll probably wait for my next scheduled refresh to try Debian/Arch.

Gentoo, mostly. Some Arch and Debian testing here and there.

Ubuntu Server for my home-lab. Fedora for my workstation (dual-booted with Windows, as work requires Windows or Mac, and Microsoft Flight Simulator only runs on Windows.

We should definitely not war on this - all linux is good linux.

Hobby: Arch Work: Fedora and RHEL

Im starting to lean towards Fedora, but this RHEL news is very concerning.

Puppy Linux on my already-not-fast-2011 laptop. Many thanks to the Devs on keeping my machine alive! True miracle makers!

EndeavourOS (Arch-based btw)

Only really ever used Ubuntu, I've tried a small handful of others but I find I have less issues with Ubuntu so I keep going back to it.

Using Fedora 38 right now. Good stuff

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

Favorite? Arch. However I am using Ubuntu on all my server systems. Currently don’t have any desktop Linux systems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Arch for personal and Alma Linux on my servers, but have been playing with the thought of NixOS for a while. With the new Red Head changes though I think I'll migrate my servers to NixOS soon. Maybe my personal setup will follow after that.

As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and I’m loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.

EndevourOS, running gnome and x11 for better gaming performance.

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

Arch, or, well, EndeavourOS to be exact. Have it on both my Desktop and Laptop. It + XFCE cured my distrohoping

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

I'm starting in the Linux world, so, my distro is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

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

Gentoo on my desktop and Mint on my work laptop. At work I just need everything to work, so I don't want to have to deal with some build related issues.

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

Daily use: Linux Mint

Funsies: VOID

Ubuntu studio for it's real time kernel and music software. Connecting a MIDI controller is a pain and I only ever did music stuff few times with it. Now I use it for anything but music.

My other computer has just plain ubuntu.

Arch. Super happy with it. Been running it on all computers for a decade or so.

I have a T420 running Void Linux, another T420 running Mint, a T430 running Arch, and a T16 running EndeavourOS.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My T420 runs MX Linux, but I've considered switching to Mint. Hows it run?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh it runs great. Mint is so easy and it's basically built for old machines.

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

Ubuntu 22.10
