just wondering
Yet another Arch, btw.
Manjaro Linux. It has treated me well for two years. (Yes, I know about the controversy, I have had no problems with the distro for the last two years).
Same here, sometimes I feel actual shame, which is ridiculous, but it works for me and hasn’t let me down so far in the past years
I have used Manjaro at work and on personal devices for maybe 10 years and it has served me well. When I got a new computer this year, I saw many recommending EndeavourOS instead, so I decided to use that instead. I don’t understand the controversy to be honest … endeavour is a-ok, but Manjaro was more stable imho, and if I have to do it again I might go back to Manjaro.
You shouldn’t feel shame, the reasons Manjaro haters give are moronic. There is that one site they love to parrot and every reason on it is stupid… when you ask them about it directly, they don’t even understand half the reasons. Manjaro is awesome! It was the first distro that got me to stick with Linux and uninstall Windows. And this after previously trying it multiple times, as far back as Mandrake Linux. Manjaro converted me.
Ubuntu at work, Mint on my laptop, Win10 and Debian on my pc. I need to upgrade to Win11 at some point but I guess I’ll wait until next year for that.
Arch, btw
Windows 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.
Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…
For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.
Ubuntu 2204
OMG! What’s it like‽ Did Linux become a mainstream desktop by then?
How’d you smuggle it back in time? And no: It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Linux maintained backwards compatibility for the ancient hardware we’re all running for that long 👍
Dude I love you. ❤️
I used ChronoBox, a deravitive of https://distrobox.it/ to scp the source back to 2024.
And yes, we’re pretty sure 2204 is the gonna be the year of linux desktop!!!
Right now I’m using Windows 11 but I will most certainly migrate to Fedora in the future.
thats fine i use both fedora and win 11
At the risk of sounding like a meme… Arch on my desktop and laptop, Windows 11 on my home server/PC I play games with anti-Linux anticheat.
Destiny?
No, until recently I had been using a VM with GPU passthrough for that, but my power supply is losing its efficiency and isn’t capable of keeping up with two video cards anymore, so for now, it’s retired.
I have a 3rd desktop I’m gonna set up for gaming soon so I can replace the Windows 11 with some flavor of Linux better suited to what I’m doing with the server.
i think there is a workaround without needing 2 gpus i can be wrong tho
There is. It involves running a script to detach the video card from the host and attaching it to the VM, then reattaching it to the host when the VM is shut down, but it’s more work than I care to do just to play a few games, especially when I have other machines I can just dedicate to the purpose and leave my desktop alone, ya know?
I don’t wanna play Destiny that badly. 😂
Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.
There’s been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven’t had any issues with it. I don’t really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.
I forgot LMDE existed
lol it definitely doesn’t get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for
alr and true
Debian. I distro-hopped a lot but I always return to it. It’s like a kit you can turn into anything you want. As stable, bleeding edge, minimal or full-featured as you want, for all kinds of devices, with great third-party support and documentation.
Currently I run a minimal, stable Gnome system with a newer kernel from backports and Flatpaks for my apps.
The only thing it isn’t good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots. Both are possible to set up, but it’s an involved process, and I’d rather depend on regular backups.The only thing it isn’t good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots.

Is it? I guess you need mutable + persistant mount for /var and one for /home. /tmp is already tmpfs by default. All you then have to do is make the other mount points ro in your fstab.
And how do you then run apt upgrade?
(The answer is to write a script that mounts / rw, runs the upgrade, then mounts it ro again. But figuring out the edge cases isn’t something I want to get into.)
I use Arch btw.
On Lemmy most will say Linux.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in my case.
me too. tumbleweed is great

Ik i dont wanna go back to reddit so yeah
Same. It just keeps chugging along whatever I throw at it, so I stick with it.
I’m waiting to see what my main machine will do when I’ll finally get to bring it back online and it finds it has 1 1/2 or 2 years of updates to install though 🤔.
Make sure you update the mirror list and repository keys first, then read Arch news and do whatever they say needs manual intervention since your last update. Then you can update everything from the core repo and finally the AUR. Don’t reboot until you’re done with all the steps.
Also might be a good idea to read through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance for additional considerations.
I think I’ll just
zypper dupand let it figure stuff out by itself as I tend to trust it to work.But thanks all the same.
Well, looking at the comments I’m not so sure about that anymore… more like Linux as well.
4 or 5 Windows users and I think none exclusively. Guess they were among the first, because now there are at least 10 Linux exclusives.
EndeavourOS at home, Ubuntu at work
Manjaro on my gaming PC, Xubuntu on a couple of lab PCs, Haiku on a very old PC, windows 11 at work with Xubuntu on a VM.
TempleOS
LOL
