From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

POP OS and Twister OS
settled on Arch Linux, after distrohopping a thousand times, it’s minimal yet it feels complete…
I started with Ubuntu, then I tried fedora, and now I’m switch to ElementaryOS because this simplicity, but i really like Debian. In the future y like try Qubes.
linux mint, runs team fortress 2 well enough
i’m a new manjaro user after almost 15 years of using ubuntu. loving the simplicity >.<
Manjaro, although thinking about Arch+i3wm when I get a new machine
Debian Stable. Old, but it works and that’s all I want my computer to do
NixOS. Once you go declarative, you never want to configure anything imperatively again.
Here’s the configuration common to all my desktop machines if you want to get a taste of what NixOS is like.
Alpine Linux. Originally to dogfood myself the packages I maintain for postmarketOS, but I’ve grown quite fond of it and the developer community around it. I run it on my laptop and desktop and servers now, coming from Gentoo.
ElementaryOS. I don’t use the Pantheon desktop, I just don’t want to distrohop
Arch and Guix
void linux, musl
I’m on Stock Debian but seriously considering moving to Ubuntu because it gets more support on stuff like stackexchange
Pop!_OS
Been using Manjaro on my laptop and my desktop for a while now, but I am in a hopping mood so that might change soon.
