    Linux Mint has always been my recommended for beginners to Linux and if I just want something stable and quick to set up.

    Arch (usually EndeavourOS) when I want to do fun stuff.

        Not true? Obviously rolling releases have newest software but they have their own drawbacks. Debian distros still get normal updates

    I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.

    My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).

      How easy is it to setup nowadays? I tried it 3-4 years ago and it was a pain to set almost anything up, even after learning the NixOS way.

    Arch for my main, Debian for my servers and family. I bounced around for a while over the years. At some point in the past I decided I didn’t want to use derivatives and these two fit my needs prefectly.

    Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.

    My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.

    However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.

      this advertisement is ok, I’ll check it and see if I can use it with tdsr. if not, I’ll report back with issues that I found.

    I want to like macOS but Apple, IMO, is doing scummier and scummier things with it. For instance, I haven’t signed in to iCloud. Once a day it seems, I’ll get a little notice telling me that not all functionality will work until I’ve signed in. Ok… So I click the little ‘X’ on the notification. It opens the settings to the iCloud setup screen. That’s not what ‘X’ is supposed to do!

    Gentoo when I want to do Linux at an enthusiast level and out of technical interest, and PopOS when I just want everything to work.

      my debian vm box is solid too, installed it yesterday, only audio issues with muting, for some idiotic reason, but I made a simple modification to the system, high hopes it will help with this.

    Void Linux is home. Plus, as soon as word got out that Windows 11 had those insane system requirements and the TPM stuff I decided I would abandon Winblows for good once 10 reaches end of life.

    Due to computer games, my desktop PC runs Windows 11, but my dissatisfaction with Windows is growing. I use MacOS on my MacBook Pro because it works so nicely with my other Apple devices, but I need a change every now and then and try new things, so I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on a relatively old laptop and it’s a great pleasure to work on it. So at the moment I would say that Linux Mint Cinnamon is my favourite operating system.

      I hate cinnamon, but everyone has different tastes: I when I use linux, if I need to have gui installed mate, or else system will go rm -rf / I saw gnome, desktop doesn’t work with orca, menu start stopped working after some updates, so mate all the way, I tried kde, but i gave up on it, it just didn’t clicked out, desktop was not accessible, menu start too. everything is bork. mate is not, for some reason, so I have it on my debian vm on utm. I’m forced to use debian, as I can’t find fedora mate arm64, or fedora with old gnome 40.0

    I’m a grumpy old man when it comes to OSes. I started on Gentoo, used Arch for a while, a few years of Ubuntu, then a bunch of different Ubuntu-based distros, Fedora and all the Fedora spins, even ran the Hannah Montana OS as a meme for a week.

    Eventually, got bored of the latest shiny things and fixing the best thing ever, and am using Kubuntu with Wayland. It just works, got no complaints.

      We should both commit to exclusively using TempleOS and see who can last the longest.
