I use Arch btw.
“He said the line!”
Honestly it’s just so good. The installation was a heck of a process the first time but it taught me so much, and no other distro I’ve tried has just worked like this across all my hardware.
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.
Mint user checking in. It’s easy to use and I like Cinnamon. Only complaint is the lack of Wayland support.
PopOS. I love it.
Agree, the hybrid graphics are amazing but i don’t really like the software center)
Yeah, pop shop is just a pain. It’s why I started learning how to use the command line.
Also a fan
Pop!_OS
I am using NixOS but it’s… difficult.
How so? I’ve always been interested in trying that one.
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!
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.

Vanilla Arch and Endeavour OS. Also looking at trying out Nix OS since I’m pretty curious.
Debian always
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.
My man.
Debian is my true love.
See my instance name.
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.

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.
Started using Ubuntu almost a decade ago, never felt the need to switch since then.
Arch btw
