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

Main desktop is fedora workstation due to the intel a380 and to get my gpu runnin out the box.

Pinebook pro has manjaro will be going slackware once i order the nvme adapter to install it there.

Old lenovo computer - testing and learning netbsd on it.

Overall im hoping to get good enough to just have slackware for linux and any of the 3 main BSDs on other devices.

Xubuntu 22.04.

Nix OS, because I use both a laptop and a desktop constantly, so having a reproducible environment is key

I'm boring Af, I use Ubuntu with Mate DE.

I would love to switch to Opensuse Tumbleweed, but I need Ubuntu because of some interactive board drivers that are only available for ubuntu... 😭

Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)

I am using Rocky Linux 9 on my home PC and Ubuntu 22.04 Server on my VPS.

Debian and Alpine

Alpine for Docker containers and Debian for general putpose and sometimes also for containers.

Same. Big fan of their net installer

MX Linux. I can customize and use many obsecure programs really easily.

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.

Debian or CentOS. But I do server stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Arch and Debian. In the future I’ll probably move to something without systemd, but for now this is what I use. I don’t understand why so many people use Ubuntu and even fedora now with this REHL controversy. Why would choose to use a corporate distro when others are also just as good? Doesn’t that negate the purpose of using linux and free software in the first place? (This applies to popos, linux mint Ubuntu, and all those other Ubuntu OSes)

Linux Mint on Desktop, Arch on my laptop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I recently just set up Mint on a virtual machine. I had the iso image and I knew how it's easy for me to get around, so I did it only to find the program I was looking for isn't what I thought it was. It's kinda my main go to for Linux work on a virtual machine because of how hassle free it tends to be for me.

That VM was made after I made the mistake of making a Liya one but not putting enough memory into the virtual hard disk.

I'm currently waiting to upgrade computers before I make the full jump since I already have everything set up just fine on my desktop, but I'm definitely thinking of starting with Mint for a general easy to use start or going to endeavourOS since I have some experience with that. (That's subject to change if I try more distros on virtual machines and find one I really like...)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.

Gentoo's own handbook is very handy. If you're ok with Arch, you'll have no problem with Gentoo. And if you have questions, you can join my tiny Gentoo community here: [email protected]

I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am running Ubuntu on my machines and spin up Docker containers if I need other flavours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Gentoo!

Main computer: Arch (BTW) because I am a WM user (awesomewm) and AL has no bloat to remove. Also because of the AUR.

Servers:

  • main server is a gentoo beast. I chose gentoo because systems was actually causing some problems and reporting a "degraded" status. OpenRC is really nice after years of systemd :-)
  • second server, used for backups: NixOS, for no particular reason. I might install Debian 12 on it one day.
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm very happy with Arch. Before that I was using Mint.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Arch and it's variants, depending on when I feel like reinstalling again, currently testing the waters with EndeavourOS

Switched my 15 yo macbook to Xubuntu. Now it works much better than vanilla Ubuntu.
