Nobara because I play games
I might try that one. I’m currently on pop os
Anybody not using Arch, by the way, must wear an arm band with the logo of their distro.
Windows users, hop in the truck!
arch users just get a tattoo on their face

RECITE THE INSTALLATION GUIDE, NOW!
I’m these 2 kinds:
- Cute queer nerd
- Stallman-like privacy and libre software enthusiast and anti-capitalist
i use openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE btw (it just works)
I run whatever works for me. Been through most of the big variations (Debian, arch, rhel, suse), and a lot of flavours. Every once in a while I run into some issue. Sometimes I manage to fix it, and sometimes I end up reinstalling or distrohopping
What are the kinds of Linux users?
It’s a bucket list item to someday have a pull request merged into a branch of the Linux kernel.
I was once the first to report a bug in the kernel. I’m still pretty proud of it.
Debian
Enough said.
Debian on my production servers, Arch Linux as my daily driver, Linux Mint on the devices I manage for normies.
Fedora on my servers, fedora as my daily driver, fedora on the devices I manage for normies.
fedora for when I want to hit print and see my networked printer automatically
Debian is my daily driver and for regular people I help. Comes with a service card saying “it will work and you will like it”.
I help for free. If someone does not like it, they can pay to have what they want done. But they don’t get to ask for help again.

Devuan seems more pure Debian.
Debian took a turn from a bad vote, and kept the name, while being a different thing.
Systemd makes perfect sense for Debian, its a stable OS and systemd is objectively stable (its also more usable and easier, additionally its what every other distro uses and has the most support)
Debian is an OS for everyone that anyone can install
So crazy that this guy built his career on being Matt Damon adjacent.
May have started that way, but he’s legit a good actor in his own right
*Matt Daemon
He was called Meth Damon during the Breaking Bad days. Great actor though.
Linux Mint runs my laptop. I do some light 3d modeling and slicing, maybe a little photo editing. I guess that makes me a pretty casual user.
Someone legit talking about being a “casual linux user” brings, in the best of ways, a tear to my eye.
Almost 3 years and the only thing that has argued with me is Mint wouldn’t talk to my ancient audio interface. When I feel like recording again I’ll get a compliant one.
I am still a chronic distro hopper.
I was a rabid distro-hopper, going through several large spools of CD & DVD, before switching to USB pendrives, for countless more distro-hopppings and distro-surfings… until 2012, when I found Bedrock Linux (at its second alpha release). Didn’t need to try to find the one distro any more, able to mix several.
I just want shit to work. I want to use it as my daily driver so I can get work done, not waste time to get things working. I don’t want my installation to become obsolete. I want a nice desktop. I want a lot of nerdy console stuff, but good UI as well, so I can choose the best of both worlds for each use case, so I can work efficiently. I want to play the occasional game.
At the moment, EndeavourOS ticks all those boxes for me. I am aware other distros do as well, CachyOS looks nice. But I’m only gonna switch if it’s really worth the effort.
whats’s a distro? :3 My UI looks like Windows 95 and i have cute cats in my terminal :3 i can text my friends, play games, surf the internet and do arts :3 what else does a girl need? :)
I actually want this as a distro
This is as it should be
