don’t worry, when you get tired of distro-hopping, Debian will still be there for you
Is this your current driver?
yep, plain old boring Debian Stable with Xfce
In my student years, I always ran with Xubuntu on a used thinkpad.
Although I’m a gnome guy these days, I still need Thunar as my default file manager. It’s nearly perfect…
Normally I go with Linux mint xfce which is practically the same currently using windows 10
If Linux Mint is practically the same as Debian, then most Distro’s are practically the same (which is actually true).
Extremely happy. Debian Stable. Every time I open the lid of my laptop, it’s working and ready to go. Wonderfully boring and exceedingly reliable.
Gotta love debian stable. It has it’s kinks, but goddammit every day you boot up it’s the same as yesterday, until next major version
Happy lemmyversary
Thanks my dude!
Fedora fees like a nice and tightly integrated distro. I’m no apple fan but I can appreciate consistent UX, I feel like Fedora for now is the closest to that level of experience, whilst pioneering in desktop-centric technologies.
I have this looming fear that IBM will somehow fuck everything over someday, but as far as I understand, the Fedora project still operates with the same level of autonomy as they did pre-aquisition.
Gosh that’s a little personal, isn’t it?
I’m very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.
Same here, couldn’t be happier (been using it for about 6 months).
That’s still the honeymoon period
Umm…thanks
Same. Two years and counting.
I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far
I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh
Mint is pretty nice
Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.
My only issue with Mint Cinnamon is it doesn’t have badges for notifications on app icons. For example, when you get a Discord message.
It’s a really weird omission.
Happy lemmyversary!
I’ve been rocking mint for about 4 months, it works for me.
Fedora. Super stable, super smooth. Used the thinkpad + fedora combo for over 10 years and will use it for 10 more.
+1 fedora. Tried almost all popular distros but came to back to fedora every single time
I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
99% happy, once in a blue moon there is a library issue during an update, I have to wait a few days, that’s it.
Very solid KDE experience, all of the things I wanted to do worked out of the box. Very solid.
I’m on Fedora Silverblue and I’m pretty sure my distro-hopping days are over. After 20 years of tinkering I really like an OS that requires literally no maintenance and basically just disappears in the background.
I’m super happy with Nobara. As a beginner its got everything I need without feeling too limiting
The Nobara Project, to put it simply, is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Fedora is a very good workstation OS, however, anything involving any kind of 3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install. A typical point and click user can often struggle with how to get a lot of things working beyond the basic browser and office documents that come with the OS without having to take extra time to search documentation. Some of the important things that are missing from Fedora, especially with regards to gaming include WINE dependencies, obs-studio, 3rd party codec packages such as those for gstreamer, 3rd party drivers such as NVIDIA drivers, and even small package fixes here and there.
I wouldn’t say I’m 100% happy with NixOS, but there is no going back at this point.
Since I installed Arch 14 years ago, I’ve never looked back. I guess I’m happy with it!
Same! I’ve had the same Arch install since 2010. It has outlasted all the original hardware, except for the case and power supply.
For me Debian is living the purpose I gave it, resisting me messing around or at least being easy for me to fix.
I run Debian with gnome, headless and raspi and love it.
Used Ubuntu for years, also had a good time and still respect the project even though it deviated from my needs.
Sometimes I’ll boot up something new just to poke around but I’m happy sticking with Debian for the time being.
I run Kinoite on my Laptop and Silverblue on my desktop. After years of “I use arch, BTW”, I decided I needed something that Just Works; and let me tell you, Fedora has not failed to impress.
