Slackware back in '05 to '09 stopped for a whIle and i just got back Into it. Currently distro hopping the BSDs and fiddling with gentoo, and Guix, trying to set up A reproducible system that doesnt use systemd and offers good wine and vm support with an Openbsd firewall/router and nas setup.
Ubuntu actually. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, until there was a game which only ran on Ubuntu. And now, after installing it, I’m actually pretty impressed and like it a lot. Yaru is a very good-looking theme, and the customizations Ubuntu made to stock GNOME are actually pretty logical (like adding windows buttons). It has among the best documentation and package support in the whole Linux universe. I’m a guy who likes to tinker, but for whom it is more important that the PC runs well, and I haven’t encountered a single problem with Ubuntu yet - no kernel panic, no weird Bluetooth stuff, no apps which don’t run for some reason,…
Everything just works. And that makes me happy. So Ubuntu it is.
My first try at linux was ubuntu 8 on a 2008 or 09 Lenovo idea pad. I left linux shortly after for windows based products for a little while for mostly pc gaming. After learning more about the current state of linux in 2022 i return to Ubuntu long term release and I’m very impressed with how well it works.
I have been tinkering with different things like large language models and a few other tools which has caused me issues with graphics drivers recently but overall it works well every time
Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I’m trying NixOS
Arch, but not fully installed. Just persistently in installation process.
Arch with extra steps, AKA CachyOS.
Debian 2.x (don’t remember exactly) was my first attempt. But I don’t actually count that because after annoying driver troubles (networking and mouse) and having to recompile the kernel multiple times I unfortunately lost interest.
Tried again with Debian 8 on my laptop and stuck with it until I moved 100% Linux just a couple of years ago thanks to Valve/Proton.
Mint + xfce
Debian :)
First: SUSE 9.1.
Current: Arch
NixOS, surprised nobody mentioned it
They’re too busy compiling the 15678th generation of their systems
Qubes OS.
Because no one mentioned it here: tuxedoOS! Ubuntu based, so its stable, with nice and tested KDE packages

Corel. You all are too young.
brooo. I heard about it. That distro was ahead of its time, too bad linux was not as developed as it is right now.

Yeah, it was good.
Slackware over here. High five
Debian Busta!
Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.
Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times… A boot diskette and a root diskette.
