Let’s make this place more active!
So, title. Personally after trying out pretty much every major distro save gentoo, I’ve come back to Ubuntu because it just works and I can focus on my work. Did remove snap and install flatpak, but other than that it’s mostly stock ubuntu.
Gentoo.
EndeavourOS :)
Well, Slackware of course!
arch on my desktop and on my server
Ubuntu with the Window Maker window manager.
Gentoo
I tried Gentoo once…the compiling…so…much…compiling…my poor distro-tester PC… :)
To Gentoo users: what I’m supposed to do about the upgrades of browsers if I don’t have a great CPU? Do you install alternative/smaller browser or compile them on night? I feel like there are too many sites that require Firefox/chromium to run functionally, I’m pretty sure Firefox (the only one I tried) accounted for over 1/3 of the compile time with its dependencies.
Maybe there is some setting, preferred hardware, that makes the compiling a bit easier. Outside of NixOS (might want to learn) and Arch (currently using), Gentoo (know how to use but too much compiling made me not install on new PC) is the only distro I’d like to daily drive, so would be cool to get some advice on it.
artix with xfce, i ve used arch with bspwm for a while now i m a simpler man
.
Been running Void Linux for a few years now and it’s very good. I like xbps and the void-packages repo (it’s like the AUR but sane).
Trying out Fedora now, was partial to Pop os, but liking the feel of Fedora!
Desktop/Workstation = Arch
Servers: Ubuntu
I’m also tech support for my wife’s laptop running Kubuntu.
Ubuntu. I started with Mint when I first dropped Windows because it had a similar look. But I found it was harder to find answers to problems I had with Mint than with Ubuntu because more people use it. So I switched to Ubuntu.
Fedora 38 KDE Spin. Truly awesome experience!
Arch. I’m thinking about using NixOS too.
Artix with awesomewm and Linux Mint in case something doesn’t work on Artix.
