What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?
I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!
I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…
Tell me about it…
The only reason I might, in the distant future, ever consider changing again is this project, which hopefully would be something between NixOS and Qubes. But that is far in the future and not even that certain.
I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
Slackware
Ubuntu for life. Unpopular opinion i know, please don’t stone.
NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)

NixOS. Declarative config with opt-in state is awesome.
Same here. It’s made my life a whole lot easier since on previous distros, I had to depend on documenting manual hacks I had done.
Fellow NixOS traveller. I used Nix for work and never saw the appeal of a whole OA built around it but when I saw a tutorial with the declarative config I was instantly sold.
Manjaro. I am a guy of habits, so I never really distro-hopped, I once tried to install Arch and failed to configure everything so I tried endeavour and failed too (which would mean I am not a tech guy either ;). Ultimately, I’d say that the distribution does not matters much once you are used to it, you can always get what you want from any of them. The only thing I really like in comparison with others is pacman :)
Linux Mint with Mate DE.
Linux Mint. Nothing beats your computer just working when you have shit to get done.
Same. Mint, because n00b.
Arch on everything, including servers. It’s just so easy to install everything via the AUR & configure everything easily. Plus the wiki is amazing. Although it is a pain to setup sometimes
Does SteamOS count? My steam deck is my current “Linux” machine.
arch
I have a few dozen computers and most run Pop!_OS.
Manjaro for the best 🥰
Manjaro + SteamOS. Wanted to refresh myself on gaming with Linux/Proton prior to the Deck launch and Manjaro seemed the most similar. Helped that my Win11 install decided to crash explorer.exe every 5 seconds around the same time.
