I stopped distro hopping pretty much after trying arch. I still love arch, but my new love is chimera Linux.
For servers I used to run Debian stable, but these days I’m pretty set on alpine.
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!
I’m very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.
Same. Two years and counting.
Same here, couldn’t be happier (been using it for about 6 months).
That’s still the honeymoon period
Umm…thanks
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.
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.
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.
I’m pretty sure Mint even has a graphical tool to install a newer kernel.
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.
my arch systems have been great for years now. had one breakage that was not my own fault though.
i also have some older thinkpads with endeavor and they’re working great as well.
i would distrohop but i’m too accostomed to the arch repos and aur at this point.
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.
Gosh that’s a little personal, isn’t it?
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.
I am 100% happy. I use a rolling distro, secure (firewall+apparmor), stable (snapshots tested through openQA) and easily revert to a previous snapshot (snapper). Yes, I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed and in my opinion there is no rolling distro that offers all these features.
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 very happy with gentoo. My computer is a universe and I am its god.
I’m still a beginner but Mint Cinnamon has treated me well, as has my Debian server.
Don’t see any reason to test anything else as long as it works this well. Nor do I have time after the kids came either…
