Just switched over to Pop!_os like a week or two ago, but i've been running fedora for the last 5 years. The reason is that since Cosmic is relatively new, maybe i can mean something in it's development by way of fixing bugs or whatnot. Never had any issues with fedora, but i'm really liking where pop!_os is headed so i'm trying to keep on top of it 😀
Could be worth a try ^ ^ I'm fine with both, and for my day to day work the two would be identical. I wonder how suitable the new version of pop would be for the average user when it comes out though. It's likely to be a little rough around the edges, although the beta does look promising already. A bit bare-bones, but promising.
I've got fedora on my laptop and Manjaro on my PC (mainly because I thought I could set up the gamepad UI but it ended up being incompatible with my nvidia gpu)
Fedora Silverblue on desktop. Fedora IoT on home server. Bazzite on my HTPC (we call it BMO box because of the startup movie I set as BMO from adventure time). Bluefin on family laptop. PureOS on phone.
why hop all of the time, because you can, or actually looking for something that is missing, I always wonder. On the other hand, I currently have three Linux laptops and they run Fedora, Arch and Debian, so maybe I have no urge to switch, as I’m very well covered.
Arch as my main OS and Mint (Debian Edition) for work and relatives.
Both just keep on chugging and have great communities around them. Also Arch wiki has a solution to 99.99% of my issues with it. And LMDE w/Auto Updates is a lifesaver for relatives 🥳
@tuxlife For me personally, it was always about discovering the nuances and perks of each distro, and trying to convey that to my audience (especially for Linux newcomers).
Also, I may have a very strange addiction to installers...
presently on RebornOS - I came back to Linux a few months back and have always been a KDE fan and wanted plasma 6 and having used manjaro before wanted a Arch base. However I don't like living on the command line (so not EndeavourOS) and Manjaro keeps breaking for me/still hadn't gone to plasma 6. Hence I found RebornOS which is more gui focused and have had no problems with at all. Love their installer options too. Surprised it is still a lesser known distro tbh.
openSUSE Tumbleweed. You get latest software quite quickly but it is all tested vi their QA so it is a very stable for a rolling release distro. Also has one of the best integrations of KDE Plaasma. It also has a great YaST control center and very nice btrfs+snapper integration out of the box.
@Linux4Everyone@fosstodonorg Artix(archlinux without systemd), pretty much stuck with it tried some other distros when i got my new laptop but somehow ended up with a more stable experience with artix(plus i get aur back)
Got a few things: - SteamOS for Steam Deck cause I dont wanna tinker for gaming much - Arch on one thinkpad - PopOS on an old asus laptop that served me quite well - Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi - NixOS on my home server (another old laptop) and my current framework machine
So far loving the NixOS stability, rollbacks after a failed experiment and ephemeral shells are great, so my end goal is to get one config to set all the machines except the deck.
Five machines in my house have Linux Mint, two machines also have Bodhi, one machine has both of those and also KDE neon, another machine has both of those and also Lubuntu. The one machine which does not have Mint or Bodhi on it... Well, I don't remember what distro I have on that one right now. My wife's two laptops are Mint only, as is the machine in the living room on which we mostly watch YouTube and TV. All are on current versions. This does not include our tablets.

in reply to Linux For Everyone • • •In the last year, I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian (first KDE then GNOME).
I've stuck with Debian GNOME the longest because it works best with the software I rely on.

Bazzite is great. It turned my HX99G into the perfect Steam Machine game console.

Desktop is (mostly) vanilla GNOME, most of the customizing is under the hood
