Let’s make this place more active!
So, title. Personally after trying out pretty much every major distro save gentoo, I’ve come back to Ubuntu because it just works and I can focus on my work. Did remove snap and install flatpak, but other than that it’s mostly stock ubuntu.
I use Arch, btw
Gone through many distros. Always end up back with Ubuntu as it just works for when I need to get things done.
Where my Mint peeps at?
Cinnamon gang!
I’m on EndeavorOS. It’s essentially Arch Linux with very specific training wheels. I switched to it about a year ago and remain exceedingly happy with it.
EndeavourOS is Arch, nicely setup for a “Daily Driver” PC and for people who don’t need to flex about installing Arch. I’ve used Arch, I like EndeavourOS better :)
Another vouch for EndeavourOS being Arch but with less hassle, I have installed and maintained for years both Arch and Gentoo and while I think those two are the best way to experience and learn Linux, I don’t have as much time anymore, so I was trying out fedora for a while (left because some package lagged just a bit much for my preference; Emacs and some compilers/runtimes mainly) I wanted back into some cutting edge rolling-release distro.
I prefer Arch over debian testing and opensuse thumbleweed because of popularity and gaming, there is bigger chance that if a game has problems, these have been found out on arch especially with the steam deck technically increasing the user base of gamers on Arch.
EDIT: NixOS sound interesting because it might be even less time commitment to maintain I think(?), but the initial learning curve would be more time investment that EndeavourOS is since I’m very acquainted with how to upkeep and Arch system that I daily drive.
Ubuntu, it just works. Hardly notice any genuine issues with Snaps as well, but I also rarely use them.
Ubuntu. Keeps it simple and streamlined between my PC, my servers and my EC2 servers.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Seems to work pretty well.
In the past I used Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch, and they’ve all been fine, but Tumbleweed has been the least annoying.
Garuda linux for me, I like its arch based and the kde plasma desktop works best.
Pop is, it basically is what you did out of the box plus a lot more great tweaks. I have to use Ubuntu for work and it’s kinda aggravating now.
I Use
WiNdOwSUbuntu. With snapsbecause I like getting kicked in the ballsbro, you’re savage 💀
Arch Linux on Desktop, Endeavour on laptop (because there’s no way im installing arch on a laptop), and Raspbian for server.
Endeavour on laptop (because there’s no way im installing arch on a laptop)
Endeavour is Arch :P
True, however I cant screenshot neofetch and brag online so it kinda defeats the whole point of arch linux anyway, right?
hehe true
but im curious, why won’t you consider arch on a laptop?
endavour is based on arch, like chromeos is based on gentoo
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE
For how long have you been using it? Have you had any breakages?
For 3 days lol, no breakages at all. I’ve switched from arch after using it for several months but now I just want stable enough distro with latest plasma and btrfs snapshots without hassle and decided to give tumbleweed a try.

I keep coming back to Void Linux.
It’s more hands-on and takes a little more work to set up initially than something like Ubuntu or Pop!_OS, but it’s simpler and generally more stable than Gentoo or Arch and has a nice, snappy package manager. The underlying system is simple enough that in the rare event something does break, it’s relatively easy to fix.
It’s the first distro I’ve returned to since leaving Slackware a second time.
Void was pretty cool when I tried it. There was some reason why I switched back to Arch; but I can’t remember why.
xbpswas pretty cool tho
I’ve started using linux roughly a month ago and I am using Garuda. I’m amazed how easy everthing is. I expected there to be a lot more troubleshooting.
Yeah for me too! I installed ubuntu and it just… worked. The only thing that was annoying was the touchpad scroll speed, which was a bit high (lightning speed), and couldn’t be changed in the settings, but I learned a lot more about linux after trouble shooting that. Now im using debian because it is S T A B L E.
