Arch on all machines. And I’ll keep with it. I’m not interested in NixOS.
Debian always
My man.
I recently switched from Arch to Debian. So far am happy with my choice. I had used arch for about 4 years beforehand but I eventually had enough of flaky AUR packages and decided to just build what I need by hand.
Hobby: Arch Work: Fedora and RHEL
Im starting to lean towards Fedora, but this RHEL news is very concerning.
Wow, People are replying! That usually dosent happen on a first post…

Welcome to lemmy :D
Thanks! I know the api madness is probably over by now (I am seeing most of reddit going back to full working order),
but i made this account when it wasn’t, so why not use it?
Gentoo, mostly. Some Arch and Debian testing here and there.
I switched away from Gentoo a few years back because I don’t feel I have the CPU time to compile all the packages on my laptop. Now I run Gentoo on my Steam Deck because I need to customise the thing so badly.
CPU time has never been an issue for me, really. I am intrigued by Gentoo on a SteamDeck - how well does that work? I imagine a very tight thermal headroom gets in a way every now and then.
Gentoo on Steam Deck works great. The kernel must have all the drivers now. For audio it must use Pulseaudio/Pipewire for the speakers to work. Compiling Firefox just takes about two hours? I didn’t time it. If it’s not compiling then it has no noticeable heat pumping out.
This is so good to hear! Thank you!
garuda. arch based and beautiful. uses the regular arch repo, plus their own custom one.
EndevourOS, running gnome and x11 for better gaming performance.
Using Fedora 38 right now. Good stuff
Void Linux at work, Hanna Montana Linux at home.
Isn’t HML a meme distro?
It’s still usable
How dare you
Apologise
When Windows 10 released, I jumped to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, its been 6 years and am on 22.04, tried Mint for a month in between last year. Considering trying Debian 12 because Ubuntu just does not feel as good as it used to.
I had nearly the same path. Win 10 -> Ubuntu 16-18 range. Tried Mint back then but didn’t like it. Settled on Debian with Gnome and have been loving it for 4 or so years.
Favorite? Arch. However I am using Ubuntu on all my server systems. Currently don’t have any desktop Linux systems.
Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn’t linux but is still awesome.
I am using NixOS but it’s… difficult.
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.
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.
