Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.
As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…
We’re an all-linux household.
- Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
- Garuda on my Framework laptop
- Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
- Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.
I use ArchLinux BTW, because
- It’s very minimal, no bloatware
- AUR
3. I feel superior - It just works™*
I use Debian because it’s what I’ve been using for the last twenty-two years.
Btw I use Archlinux
I switched to it 50% for the AUR: I regularly install softwares not from the classic repos, and the AUR is a godsend compared to cloning a Github, make install and thinking about updating it. The rest is a mix of the ArchWiki, its lightness and openness.
NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.
Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.
fedora
overall a great experience, very easy to set up and configure, great software support, excellent privacy, etc. my personal favorite linux distro atm. i also like gnome a lot, especially once tweaked with good extensions like dash to dock and transparent top bar.
fuck microsoft and windows.
Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
Fedora
It kicks ass
I use Mint because it just works. I’m thinking of trying Endeavor tho
I use NixOS. The nice thing about NixOS is that you can set the state of most of your computer in a file or files that can be tracked on git, and any updates can be rolled back.
I’m still using Windows 10 on my personal computer. Oh I’ll probably have to upgrade someday, some game or other program will come out with exclusivity of some kind and I’ll eventually install Windows 11. But for the most part, I don’t want to fuck with it, everything works and I really just don’t want the hassle.
Running Linux Mint on an old laptop, mostly because it’s too old to decently run Windows 10. Don’t use it for much, mostly troubleshooting things.
At work the laptops are Windows 10 and I don’t think there’s a push to update. Of course all the servers are Redhat Enterprise Linux, and that’s where the majority of my work takes place.
Linux. I use Arch on my laptop and PopOS on my gaming rig. Still using Windows on my company laptop, but daily driving Linux on the others for over a year now.
Really dislike the Microsoft push for telemetry as well as the integrated ads and other processes wasting my resources.
Fedora is the most solid thing I’ve ever used. I use the KDE version on my desktop and silverblue on my laptop. Never have any problems
Well that clearly shows the community are mostly linux people. Nice. Early adoptors. Debian and POP here.
