I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

    Debian (desktop) and Mint (laptop), because I don’t need to use the latest version of every app I use and because it works so well.

    If I had to chose a single one, it would be Debian but I don’t have to chose ;)

    I switched to Zorin OS (from Windows) at the beginning of this year and never looked back. Great for newbies.

    I think Pop!_OS and Linux Mint are the best no brains required distributions.

    I use Gentoo and I love it. The installation process is a bit more complex than Arch but it doesn’t have to be if you choose the precompiled kernel.

    The package management is extremely flexible and the community are great. I have a morning routine where I log onto my gentoo desktop before work and update everything; would compare it to raking one of those miniature buddhist sand gardens. Very theraputic!

      Have got Debian on an old thinkpad too because it is too under resourced to compile everything. I think Debian is amazing for a solid, reliable distro if you have weak hardware.

        I’m sorry but it’s not great for beginners. It’s a rolling bleeding edge distro that does not break often but when it does you need to know how stuff works to fix it.

    Really depends on what you do and value. I use lots of kde software, so kde distros are my go to. then one big diffrence between distros is how they get updated. do you want the latest updates asap on the costs of stability, or do you want an effing never crashing distro but lag behind in updates a few months/years, or a middleground.

    These are the two points i considered when i choose.

    Over the course of the last 20 years, I’ve gone from Arch -> Void -> Pop!_OS -> Ubuntu, and that is what I use on all my machines (laptops, desktops, servers).
