    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.

    EndeavourOS. It’s Arch but without the faff, it just works and looks gorgeous.

    I was using Pop!_OS for a long time, but finally switched to Fedora and I love it because it feels so up to date.

    I’m currently using Nobara a Fedora fork and upgraded today to version 38 it was a bit of a stretch. I had to delete many things in my /etc/ to get GNOME 44 working. Bluetooth and the panel on the top right is a bit buggy but it works.

    On my laptop I use arch with hyprland

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve always just used ubuntu with i3 because I honestly dont really know what I am potentially missing out on. What is a reason to use something else?

    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!

    Arch Linux. It’s too convenient. The AUR hosts a massive amount of packages, wiki is super detailed and covers solutions for all sorts of edge cases. Needs a bit of tinkering to get started but once things are set up it’s very stable, and still gives you a lot of freedom to tinker with your system however you want. The only other option I’ve considered is NixOS which has some pretty interesting features

      I wonder if we could feed the AUR Wiki into a GPT and get a useful support desk for all Linux distros.

    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.
