    NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.

    Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.

    I use ArchLinux BTW, because

    1. It’s very minimal, no bloatware
    2. AUR
      3. I feel superior
    3. It just works™*

    We’re an all-linux household.

    • Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
    • Garuda on my Framework laptop
    • Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
    • Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.

      As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…

    Linyx because it doent get in my way unlike windows, and because I like FOSS. Arch linux in particular, but anything is better than windows or macos. (well, not chromeOS)

    I use Arch btw.

    It’s just clean and simple. I’ve never had a problem with reinstalling things, so I love the idea of a bare-bones operating system where I can install what I need and nothing else. I swapped to Manjaro for a while because my last attempt at arch became unstable, but I’ve got a good 8 or so years of Linux under my belt now. I feel much more comfortable maintaining rolling release. Also the AUR is unmatched. I’m spoiled by it.

    My desktop runs Windows 11 since I game and use an Nvidia GPU. I also end up having to re-install my OS a bunch if I use Linux on a daily-driver.

    Two of my laptops run Ubuntu for greater compatibility with server software I have installed on them (I use them solely for server shit), and one runs Mint. The Mint one is mainly just used to Parsec into my desktop from bed.

    I have tried various distros over the last 15 years, starting with Ubuntu, debian, Crunchbang(alltime-favorite), Arch, Fedora and so on. Currently with Linux Mint. Just works and I like the Debian environment.

    • Windows 11 on the main PC
    • Windows 10 on the HTPC
    • Linux Mint XFCE on my laptop

    Part of the reason I steer to windows for main work/play PC’s is due to the greater amount of support for the platform and the overall ease of use, however I’ve looked into various distros for the HTPC which would enable a more native “console” like experience than what I have now via it automatically opening Kodi and Kodi acting as a launcher for steam or playing YouTube, Netflix and Disney+ through the interface.

    XFCE meanwhile for the laptop is to enable a familiar desktop environment light on resources (the laptop is over a decade old at this point) and efficient for when I’m at school or need the laptop for work purposes (like a presentation I’ll have to give in the coming weeks).

    Windows 10 bc I play lots of games and it just runs. Not upgrading to Windows 11 bc I want to reinstall my PC when I do it but I don’t want to do all that at the moment.

    Windows 10 - work PC because I have to + WSL

    Arch - Service laptop - because I hate my free time(just kidding BTW)

    PopOS - personal laptop - because of nvidia and gaming

    Linux Mint - family laptop - because of maintenance and stability

    Ubuntu - Server…well I’m lazy
