    Fedora.

    They have solid community and financial backings, they do tremendous work pushing the Linux desktop forward, it’s close to vanilla and the sweet spot between stable and bleeding edge (aka “leading edge”) for me personally.

      Agreed. I want rolling release so I’m up to date and don’t have to reinstall when a major version upgrade inevitably breaks something. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed gives me that in a reliable little package. It has its quirks, but I’m trying to learn as I go.

    Debian GNU/Linux because of its emphasis on free software. also, it’s an operating system that doesn’t make me feel its presence. couple it with a stable desktop environment like xfce and it becomes a good combo. I’ve installed it on all of my machines. be it server or home devices. it’s my universal operating system.

    though in office I’m provided an ubuntu machine, with which I’m also content since at the end of day, it’s GNU/Linux. it’s all that matters to me.

    Fedora Silverblue and Silverblue specifically. I used to run Arch and did all the cool things from DE customization to custom kernels and other cool shit with scripts and so on. Now I just want a system that I know will boot and just do it’s thing

    Linux Mint Debian Edition. I mention it a lot on here, but it really is my favorite distro. I have been using Linux a long time, and I’m old. I don’t care to spend a lot of time and effort tweaking and configuring. LMDE gives me everything I need and is usable out of the box, while not standing in my way when I need to get shit done.

    I just distro hopped to nixos. I was unaware of it until I came to the fediverse. The declarative system, once you get over the small learning curve, I feel is very easy to understand and configure. Creating and being able to roll back system configurations is a great feature too.

    Previously I was using void. I quite enjoy it too and am sure I’ll revisit it. It’s a light (no systemd) rolling release distro with an emphasis on stable packages.

    KDE Neon: the stability of an Ubuntu LTS base without the snaps and other Ubuntu nonsense you may end up having to deal with in Kubuntu, with all the latest versions of KDE software directly from KDE themselves. They say it’s not a distro, but it pretty much is.

    I have Arch (KDE) installed on my desktop at home. I have been using it for 6 years and I love it, especially the AUR! This month I have been mostly using my laptop and I am using MX Linux 23 KDE which is great! I really find it’s tools very useful when I need them (which is not often, but I am glad they are there).

    Debian because the swirl looks cool and the installer makes me feel old and sophisticated without having to be old and sophisticated.
