@itsfoss i picked ubuntu 9.04 for a project because it was there.
i still use ubuntu, now as a daily driver for work and play. my wife uses ubuntu on her PC. my kids use it.
every now and then i dabble with debian, and i keep virt-manager installed to try things out, like kde neon for kde plasma 6 before it was fully baked, and nixos, which intrigues/confuses me.
My favorite distro for the past 3+ years is Garuda. I use the KDE and Qtile editions. Theys made a lot of useful suite of tools and helped with migration to KDE 6 (Wayland part of it does not work though). I would move to a wayland based dynamic tiling WM, but Hyprland dows not want to work for one of my apps and currently there are no other good choices, plus what I am reading about the lead developer and their community isn't good.
@itsfoss openSUSE. I chose it because I wanted to challenge myself with a distro that is a little off the beaten path. I stay with it because it is the most stable distro I've ever used. :opensuse:
@itsfoss tried plenty over the years, but at present really liking RebornOS for the arch + gui base and rolling release (manjaro is good but the delay in updates is annoying) also KDE is my desktop of choice so it ticks all the boxes.
@itsfoss
From a user, no a sysadmin, just need something to work and study. Begun with Mandrake and SuSe in 2000, years later redhat, ubuntu and two or three more. Around 2005 debian, since then only that.
Reasons: stable, stable, stable...no problems, not even once.
@itsfoss I am a fedora user. I made the decision based on how many redhat emloyees were in the contributors credits for the software I using. I even volunteered with them for a while as an ambassador. It was a very cool experience.
@itsfoss I’ve been using Arch for quite some time, mainly due to how customizable it is and because of the AUR.
But recently, @nixos_org is growing on me more and more, and I even use #nix more and more outside #nixos too. My next desktop will run exclusively on NixOS, one of my laptops already does!
