Ubuntu also for sever and I like to mess around with Kali for fun

I like to use Fedora Linux. It’s easy to use, have up do date packages, and surprisingly stable. Been using it for a couple of years now.

I have been using Debian Testing for six years now, and I have no complaints.

As a long time user of Arch Linux, my favorite distro is… Slackware. Never used it, but it holds a special place in my heart.

It’s like that place you always wanted to visit, or that crazily difficult book everyone praises to the sky.

Mint - it was my first one, and the one I come back to, having tried Manjaro (ooops), Endeavour, Fedora, MX, Garuda, Nobaro and probably a f ew more.

Yes packages are not bleeding edge, but flatpaks are good for me if I want newer versions. I don’t want to spend time restoring backups in the event of an Arch based release going wrong (happened to me on Manj and Endeavour - yes it can be recovered but its a waste of time).

I don’t like Linux distributions in general and for the specific reasons. So, there is no my favorite. But I prefer common wide accepted original distributions and not slightly customized derivatives.

Ubuntu and debian based distros have been a long time favorite. Recently switched to Fedora and the Cinnamon desktop. It has a nice feel and user experience as well.

What is difficult now is the base OS to choose, but also the desktop experience. I think the desktop choice is also what makes the Linux experience and distro choice for people these days.

Ubuntu LTS, but looking forward to Pop OS with the new COSMIC DE. I will switch to that when the release it.

For me it’s a tie between Void Linux and Fedora.

Fedora provides a really decent experience out of the box for all their releases, with great stability and community support

Void Linux is a more niche distro which is quite barebones by default, but can be built into a highly customized system whilst still being stable. Their docs/handbook is also really easy to understand.
