“Oh god, they will immediately be able to tell I am a fraud who has no idea what he’s doing when I tell them I use Ubuntu”

"Steam Deck now leave me alone"

Definitely not Arch then?

I use Arch, btw

of course the true and only "hannah montana linux"

So what is your distro? ;)

Steam Deck. ;)

Does steam OS count as an answer?

Since developing early onset dementia, I've had to switch to mint.

It goes to another school. You would not know it.

WSL

You can try to get away with the classic "I use Arch btw." Either they are seriously impressed and don't ask any further then, or you fucked up completely.

What's a distro? I just use the Linux kernel on a potato 🥔

Sometimes you just need an undebatable excuse. I use Linux Mint because LM are my initials and I'm too lazy to move to any other recommendations

-What distro do you use?

-Chrome OS

Proxmox 😎

Umm... Arch... -buntu... Hat... Linux?

I use Windows BTW

Raspbian 💪

Just always answer "Red Star OS".

I tend to use whatever I consider the best one for that particular job. For example: Desktop/gaming: I currently use Ubuntu here because of greater commercial compatibility. But I am using Pop_OS on my System76 laptop and am liking it and may switch to that next time I need to rebuild the desktop image since it is downstream from Ubuntu compatibility should not be an issue. It would save be several post install customizations.

Homelab virtual infra hosting: Proxmox. Because I wanted fancy features without having to pay for a VMWare VMUC license.

Firewall/Router: PFSense

Homelab Infra VMs: Debian Stable for what I consider "backbone" services like DNS and Ubuntu server for things like Jellyfin and my Bookstack server where I am less concerned with it being rock solid.

I used to keep a Windows VM for the rare Windows specific things I wanted/needed. But eventually I got rid of that because I never needed it anyway.

I'm really liking Pop OS! I'd still be using Ubuntu if it wasn't for Pop tbh. I've also had some fun with Elementary OS, but their hostile stance on tray icons is killing my workflow.

Ideological design bullshit shouldn't get in the way of making a good product tbh.

btw i use android

Its called a file

Windows of course. when you run wsl it becomes linux distro

I love mint and solus :) Currently on mint

It’s, er, a variant of FreeBSD.

This used to be me while I distrohopped. Now, I've settled on which distro I will use. I use Arch, btw.
