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.
I'm on Arch because it's stock on the Steam Deck. I feel like a "participation award" Linux user, but I'm happy to be here at least.
Mint user checking in. It's easy to use and I like Cinnamon. Only complaint is the lack of Wayland support.
Arch
Which tiling window manager? I want to switch to something else, been using i3wm for a long time.
KDE is cool, I used it for a while when I couldn't figure out why my i3wm config was causing screen tearing. Turns out I had to install picom
Yeah, pop shop is just a pain. It's why I started learning how to use the command line.
Agree on this one, even when i use Windows, i mostly use winget
or choco
to install things.
So instead of going on the internet and finding where to install a thing, it is just one simple command and i'm there!
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!
Vanilla Arch and Endeavour OS. Also looking at trying out Nix OS since I'm pretty curious.
Started out using Ubuntu since 6.06, tried out elementary OS for a bit, went back to using vanilla Gnome on ubuntu and have switched over to Fedora a couple of years ago
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.
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.
I also used void for quite a long time, but then for some reason after an update my system bricked.
Also, for some reason, even when i turned on services in sv
they would not start, take for example pulseaudio.
Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn't affect Fedora itself.
Currently Endeavour OS, but I mainly daily drive Fedora, because its the right mix between bleeding edge and stable (stableedge?) for me.
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.
