As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and I’m loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.

Arch. Super happy with it. Been running it on all computers for a decade or so.

Ubuntu studio for it's real time kernel and music software. Connecting a MIDI controller is a pain and I only ever did music stuff few times with it. Now I use it for anything but music.

My other computer has just plain ubuntu.

Nobara on the Desktop, Pop OS on the Laptop and the Surface (needs a custom kernel though). I'd use Nobara on everything but I am too lazy to switch.

Fedora with KDE!

[–] Liome@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

I used to run manjaro, but after some problems I decided to cut the middle man, and jumped to arch.
So now I use arch btw.

[–] CWSmith@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo is my prefered distro.

I'm a Trisquel user. Though, I'm thinking of moving to Guix.

Since 2008 I am an Arch Linux user (multiple PCs and laptops, as well as some Raspberry Pie devices and a "mini PC" used as home server).

I used Ubuntu since initial release in 2004 and before that I used Debian in dual-boot with Windows since around the year 2000. With switching to Ubuntu I completely ditched Windows and never used it on any non work-related machines again.

Arch BTW for my personal machine and Debian for my server

Linux Mint on Desktop, Arch on my laptop

[–] kabukimeow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years 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...)

[–] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Arch as a daily driver, Debian for my girlfriend and the self hosted stuff, Raspbian for the PiHole

[–] 18107@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] darkl1nk@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

I started with Fedora, then gave a few looks outside, now when I use Linux, it's 99% Ubuntu/Mint 1% Zorin (to show the similarities with Windows and explain how easy can be for an old newbie used to Win)

[–] wfm@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

Pop_OS on my laptop

[–] rmspc@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] GenBlob@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] lawrence@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Fedora because they keep the packages updated. I could go with Arch, but the amount of updates per day is too high.

[–] Geose@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I've been maining endeavouros for a little over a year now. It's oddly easier than any other os I've ever run.

I am running Ubuntu on my machines and whatever Docker containers if I need some other flavour.

[–] anton@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fedora, it’s running great on my older ThinkPad

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Gentoo!

Even started a community with a whopping 16 subscribers and almost no posts! !gentoo@lemm.ee.
