    @saucyatom cool . That's an unique answer . I was expecting the first one to be sayin arch coz its on hyp

    @arupam arch can go suck my balls, I got better things to do than to constantly work on keeping my computer usable.

    @saucyatom yeah i agree on that . I mean whenever distro question comes arch peeps are at front .
    Like yo arch here

    Debian. It's stable and compatible with basically everything except bloody wifi.

    Like @saucyatom, I also like Qubes' approach. I might go with that one next, or I might try Gentoo; I haven't decided. Maybe even Arch, but probably not. I want to move away from systemd because it's a gigantic pile of crap.

    @ScriptCoded same i have been on it since long but i guess i ll move to other because of issues with snap . I ll try some other distros with other package managers.

    @GodlikeBlock is it easier to install than arch ?

    Artix-OpenRC,
    because I somewhat like Arch, but don't want to suck Poetterings dick.

    I've recently switched to Pop!_OS (or however it's stylized) for my work OS. I was looking for something Ubuntu-based because most Linux stuff works there without extra tinkering. Pop runs Gnome which I like, but brings nicer theme and improved power management. systemd-boot is also a nice touch.

    Kubuntu. Stable, Debian based and eyecandy!

    I'll be that guy.

    I use Arch.

    My experience with Arch over the last 2 years have been great. Nothing broke, everything just worked (tm). Sure, you can always live on the edge like @Haxk20 does but that's just silly.

    > Mint with Cinnamon [main: lappy, work, pc]

    beautiful, stable, snappy, UI self-detects crashes [if any] and suggests a way to recover, loads of packages.

    > Mint with xfce4 [netbook]

    all of the above, except ui is simpler - atom w/ 2G ram seems a bit stubborn with cinnamon [and mate].

    > Ubuntu mate [rpi2/3]

    to keep all that's good from ubuntu

    > raspbian 10 [rpi4, dashboard]

    just because ubuntu mate is not yet ready for rpi4. Can't wait tho!

    Arch since 2010. Still using the same installation as I can update it little by little when the need arises.

    Raspbian, Ubuntu, and Kali

    Ubuntu (Workplace + Laptop for Work) - No other Distro is supported so have to stick with it there but I can customize it as much as I want. Most of the used software is only available for Ubuntu or Debian if you don't want to go through much hassle.

    Manjaro/Ubuntu/Win10 (Home PC) - Manjaro for that Arch feel, Ubuntu for when I feel like doing work on my pc rather than the laptop and Win 10 for gaming.

    @Crowns ohh that's cool you are using a lot of oses. Btw which one do you prefer on laptop ubuntu or manjaro
  • 1
    Elementary OS, mostly because if it's feel and consistency across applications, plus the mini app ecosystem is bloody amazing

    @lxmcf i am waiting for it to come with Nvidia proprietary drivers included . Like ubuntu 19.10 .

    Ubuntu, fedora, RHEL.
    Always has worked out of the box, delivers what's necessary, job

    @arupam I would say Ubuntu at the moment. Haven't worked so much with Manjaro and I am more familiar with Ubuntu because I work with it every day an I feel more productive using it. But this is all personal preference.

    @Crowns yeah even i am more family with debian based ones than arch but cz of snap issues m leaving it
