Depends on the machine… Debian, arch, and fedora
Depends on the machine… Arch, Debian and …Asahi! (Actually Fedora)
Maaaaaaan I’ve wanted to try Asahi since its development took shape. I know I’m probably not that far off with my PBP running Fedora, but it’s just not the same…
Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my ‘23 mbp in 14’ has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don’t like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.
To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it’s like my friend’ Carbon X1 on Mint really.
NixOS, surprised nobody mentioned it
They’re too busy compiling the 15678th generation of their systems
Slackware.
Woo, fellow Slackware user!
Slackware gang!!
There are dozens of us!
Started out with mint back in the codec days. Now use Aurora at work , Bazzite at Home
GNU Guix where even geeks are G
Redhat 5.1. I had no idea what I was doing.
Recently switched to NixOS.
Arch🗿
btw
BTW. With clang lto’d kernel 6.9. When non-Arch get the buggy updates, We have already moved on.
Mabox.
My first distro was Slackware 4. Now that I’m old and don’t got time for that, I’m running Linux mint on my main PC, 2 raspberry pi OS, and Ubuntu LTS for a Minecraft server.
Void! I used arch btw for quite a while, but then decided to switch and I don’t regret nothing… Except the docs, the docs aren’t very good. I’m also running debian 12 on my home server, and it has been a good experience
mxlinux, manjaro, and openmediavault
Started with OpenSuse, then Mandrake, then looong time Debian, now back to OpenSuse TW
Fedora on lappy 486, Nobara dual boot on compy 386.
Might pick something else for compy though. Don’t really game on it with Linux since my games are Windoze only (iRacing)
In the beginning, i used mint, then i used arch for a while, now im chilling comfortably with a dual boot of bazzite/arch. bazzite for the gaming setup, arch for the work setup.
