Mint!

... alright, go ahead and shoot.

Arch, but not fully installed. Just persistently in installation process.

Opensuse TW KDE

Debian 12

It's just so good

Slackware.

D - to the E - to the ma' fuckin' BIAN

Puppy Linux, baby cuz I got that dawg in me!

First? Mandrake.

Now? Debian.

Ubuntu actually. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, until there was a game which only ran on Ubuntu. And now, after installing it, I'm actually pretty impressed and like it a lot. Yaru is a very good-looking theme, and the customizations Ubuntu made to stock GNOME are actually pretty logical (like adding windows buttons). It has among the best documentation and package support in the whole Linux universe. I'm a guy who likes to tinker, but for whom it is more important that the PC runs well, and I haven't encountered a single problem with Ubuntu yet - no kernel panic, no weird Bluetooth stuff, no apps which don't run for some reason,...

Everything just works. And that makes me happy. So Ubuntu it is.

Recently switched to NixOS.

Endeavour, fixing issues is easy enough.

Yes I have the arch logo as a wallpaper of my PC and my phone why do you ask?

Opensuse. Screw all the haters, it just werks (except for codecs needing to be installed and some minor fiddling)

Nobara: Fedora "Gaming" KDE

Debian 12

GNU Guix where even geeks are G

Kubuntu, because I did the "hard"-distro-to-show-off thing with Gentoo 20 years ago and can't be bothered anymore.

Debian. Always have, always will

Depends on the machine.. Debian, arch, and fedora

Um...

Manjaro (Stable) with Plasma 6 (and broken Oxygen icons).

I plan to merge those icons with GNOME icons... which are also partial, but I am too lazy. I like their early 2010s 3D look, but currently nearly half my icons are just missing.

I should be able to just rsync them together I hope and name it something else. Then also rsync the default Breeze icons as a last resort. I should be able to do that with --ignore-existing I think.

Fedora Kinoite The Future Is Now, Old Man😎

I'm far from OG, unless you count my dad's SUSE that I "used" as a child for a while. I fondly remember SuperTux. But I didn't really interact with the system much beyond starting games or a browser.

Later (about six years ago, I think) I started dual-booting Ubuntu as a side piece for productive stuff while gaming on Windows. Gradually tried gaming on Linux too, then made the jump to Linux (Ubuntu) exclusive late 2021.

Since a recent PC upgrade, I've used an additional disk to try Nobara and am happy with it so far. I've now got a spare disk and more time to try new distros, so I plan to explore the distroverse some more, but all in all I'd consider myself more of a newcomer or at best a resident than an OG.

Red Hat 4, father say me down on one of his Frankenstein computers built out of his trash heap in our basement and told me to have fun. I found tux racing konquest and played the shit out of them

My first distro was Slackware 4. Now that I'm old and don't got time for that, I'm running Linux mint on my main PC, 2 raspberry pi OS, and Ubuntu LTS for a Minecraft server.

NixOS, surprised nobody mentioned it

Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.

Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times... A boot diskette and a root diskette.

Redhat 5.1. I had no idea what I was doing.

Debian Busta!

Arch🗿

Because no one mentioned it here: tuxedoOS! Ubuntu based, so its stable, with nice and tested KDE packages

I use void because I liked the name
