This may start a war in the replies, but let’s see!
I use Arch btw.
“He said the line!”
Yes, of course you do :) And next week, you’ll be using NixOS :)
What is the fuss about nixos?
Linux Mint, the vanilla distro with chocolate.

I am using NixOS but it’s… difficult.
I was considering giving NixOS a go. What are you finding difficult about it?
It’s mainly frustrating because the learning curve is steep for no reason. NixOS is not complicated at all in and of itself, but the documentation surrounding it is very, very difficult to make heads or tails of.
Go to Chris Titus Tech, he has covered Nix in its entirety on how to use it. Preferable to documentation.
I’m using Arch (btw) but I’m running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It’s kind of wild, it’s not like any way I’m used to thinking about an OS at all, so I’m still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!
How so? I’ve always been interested in trying that one.
Debian always
My man.
See my instance name.
PopOS. I love it.
Agree, the hybrid graphics are amazing but i don’t really like the software center)
Also a fan
Tumbleweed
This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn’t require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it’s Windows. I’ve tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there’s always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.
100th comment! tbh, i totally get this. using the command line is much easier and a lot less “restricting” quote unquote than using GUI tools.
Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn’t affect Fedora itself.
Vanilla Arch and Endeavour OS. Also looking at trying out Nix OS since I’m pretty curious.
Pop!_OS is what I keep falling back to. It helps that I use a System76 Thelio and a HP Dev One.
Same. I wait patiently for cosmic because I’ve gotten use to the keyboard navigation. And I’ve used Debian-based distros for 20+ years and it feels like home.
I’ve been using Void as my daily driver on my desktop for about six years now, I can see myself ever switching. Also have used Solus, Arch, Endeavour, and OpenSuSe on my laptop during that time, which have all been good. But I still prefer Void, it just feels so natural to me now.
Void is just Arch but better.
Simple: Arch for desktops and Debian for servers.
This is it. This is the way.
Arch
Which tiling window manager? I want to switch to something else, been using i3wm for a long time.
Most of the time I’m just using Plasma 5. But I had some great time with sway.
Try AwesomeWM. Or if you are determined to have a tiling only then QTile is good.
I think I tried Awesome before, I’ll give it another shot, thanks!
Tumbleweed
Ah, an OpenSuse user!
Really underrated distro. It’s even very good for beginners.
