Linux distros

Which linux distro are you currently using and why?

I use Arch btw

Void! ^.^

Archfags start these threads just so they can say they use Arch

what you calling Linux? You mean The gnu, a component system

Kubuntu because fuck I want shit to werks
also I'm more a KDE guy

fedora gnome

functions better than manjaro gnome. manjaro gnome is sluggish despite using less ram

netbsd is pretty nice

Kali coz I am learning pentesting

Fedora Workstation.

it is the only distro i haven't had any trouble with. Everything works out of the box.

unironically using arch here on my Atom N550 laptop.

Gentoo cuz some one told me to

Elementary OS cause I'm still looking into other distros before abandoning ship

...

Debian
Just werks. Use to always be on Ubuntu based distros but I made the switch to Debian because I started to dislike some of the choices made by Canonical and now I feel like I never want to go back.

Antergos

Ubuntu on my laptop because ez compatibility
Centos at home because studying for the RHCE
Debian on the VPS because it's easier to upgrade across releases compared to centos

same except I use neon

mint on my laptop, ubuntu on my vm.

Went with ubuntu because it was familiar

went with mint because after using it in my vm, I fucking hate ubuntu and i just want something to work without randomly breaking

Void bspwm

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.


There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

It just get funnier!

Arch because my laptop is crapware, and I prefer pacman to apt.

Arch community is shit though, the only thing I like about it is the extensive wiki

Arch on desktop because of best wiki, AUR and fresh packages, Ubuntu and Debian on servers, because of tons of guides
Everything just works
I've tried CentOS and I don't like it, because of ancient packages

I'm using Android.

BunsenLabs because I wanted something stable with Openbox pre-installed.
I might switch to something else once I get a new laptop.

Solus OS on a 60GB SSD, Ubuntu 16.04 on an older asus laptop, Manjaro XFCE on my 11.6" Acer lappy that only has 2 GB ram because I like playing around with OS even though I am not a programmer( only know a bit of Matlab)

Nice pasta, Stallman.

ZorinOS
Because Xfce is shit by default and ZorinOS fixes all but screen tearing.

Gentoo. Because it worked well for over 10 years.

Configuration management is sane, package manager + tooling gives you all the tools you need to handle issues, and so on.

I actually just use the Bash client on Windows 10. I need Win10 for game compatibility.

I know imma get roasted to hell

xubuntu, it werks

>Archfags start these threads just so they can say they use Arch
That's an absurd. It's mere a coincidence that OP made this thread and he uses arch...
I use arch too! I like how arch just works! (After configuring it to ones taste of course!)

Linux is an OS (and a kernel), GNU is just part of Linux. Without linux kernel no one would know about GNU now.

Ubuntu because it's getting great. 18.04 will be wonderful. They wil get that fucking UI getting real great nigger. I read about nigger. It's going to be great. Wise choice. I know I will stick with it. I know I will stick with it. It's getting there and getting there quickly. Anyway, the improvements are fucking topnotch 'n' shit. Niggers.

Ubuntustudio because I make music and the latency is a god-send.

I haven't actually installed steam or any games on this yet because I'm afraid it will explode

gentoo because I wanted to take the plunge and learn more about how linux works

>and learn more about how linux works
how did that work out?

Ubuntu server install with i3. Minimal bloat, but consistent with what I have to use at work.

is ubuntu server just the naked os without DE?

From what I understand, yeah. They also offer a mini.iso which is supposed to be the same thing, but you need a disk drive for that if you have a UEFI mobo.

I've gone it Sup Forums
I installed Ubuntu, then KDE then tried themes and these sorts of things
What do i do now to EVOLVE?

I learned quite a bit more but I'm still in the dark about everything

I just migrated from windows and i really want to use this but it looks like linux is just to show off a nice looking desktop and a screenfetch

Install Windows LTSB.

fedora it was in my sub when my drive died

Fedora with Cinnamon. It's pretty comfy.

yeah, I have tried out the mini.iso, but I have always picked a DE from the installer, never tried to install without a DE

Arch
Because pacman is fast, and AUR covers 99.99% of everything i need.
Close to bleeding edge, I don't need to wait 6 months for year old software.
Stable, I had Ubuntu installs commit suicide on me more times than Arch.

for most people here, it is just to show off. Just see the vast majority of the screenshots, the uptimes is almost always

Manjaro, cause I didn't had a lot time to install Arch

Fedora because comfy, and also sysadmin in CentOS/RHEL environment.

It's really great for programming.
If you think about it, it's an OS made by programmers for themselves.
While Windows is an OS made by marketing departments for tech illiterate people.

Arch because I started using it some time ago and it just got comfy.

I want an desktop with just the top bar from GNOME, no open apps bar at the bottom any suggestions?

>I'd just like to interject for a m-
*blocks your path*

Debian is my go to distro. It’s stable and everything I need works. I use the i3 window manager because I prefer using the keyboard instead of a mouse/trackpad.

I'm not using Linux because I have standards and deadlines.

why are your lines dead?

Antergos(but wothout antergos repo and antergos related software) with Kde

KDE Neon

I like Ubuntu-based distributions for their stability and ease of use.
I like KDE.
I like bleeding-edge KDE.
I can't be bothered to try anything else. Suppose that's the end goal of distro hopping.

GalliumOS.

It's my only option. It's pretty good.

I'm winfag, I'm testing arch and xubuntu on virtualbox right now, and arch is faster and lighter than xubuntu, but xubuntu doesn't breaks after 5 reboots, may try debian and maybe gentoo, if i have enough, braincells to install it .

You sound like an animal crossing villager.

xubuntu, it just works, has a huge software collection, a large user base for help and support and PPAs for any software you can think of, just like any ubuntu flavor. it's pretty much lightweight although it comes with a complete set of GUI setting tools and daemons.

i use it with openbox and use xfsettingsd to configure everything, from key bindings to GTK and icon themes.

xfvolumed, xfce4-power-manager, xfrun4.... every xfce DE tool is functional, simple and not bloated. would recommend, even if you don't use the XFCE desktop.

centos

Qubes 4.0-rc4

I can totally recommend it.

I can't imagine using anything other than Arch on my x86 PC's but I do use Void on my RasPi.

Debian is what I use. There may be some stupid things going on in the default repositories, like, for example, packaging gtk-window-decorator without gtk3 support and also gtk3 version of metacity(they can't work together so gtk window decorator is almost useless). But good thing us that Debian is so popular, you can find anything already packaged for Debian or at least sources providing a clean exploitation on how to build a program under Debian.

Red Star, too bad it's only 32 bit though.

Gentoo
Portage and flexibility

Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed starting in 1991. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.

none because im waiting for either xfce 4.14 or an nvidia compatible compositor for mate that wont give me mouse lag.

gnome + extensions, or cinnamon with the panel on top.

Mint kde because just works

>"I like software that's 2 years out of date"
disgusting

What's the advantage of netBSD over free and openBSD? Not trying to start and argument just curious

Linux From Scratch, because I wanted certain things a certain way and did not want certain other things.

KDE Neon, because just werks.

OpenBSD has limited hardware support, whereas NetBSD runs on literally anything.

Also, FreeBSD is run by retards.

originally fell for the Sup Forumsentoo meme, but eventually got tired of portage's autism. Now I'm on Slackware, which is much more /comfy/.

Mint

Hi grandpa

(You) are a certain linux user

Ubuntu... Because stability and my time are the most important things.

...

Just started using Parrot
Feels nice desu

>logged in as root

xubuntu cause it just werks

Fedora 24 with KDE

And I made 0 (zero) customization

I'm using Android.

Linux From Scratch... On VM.
On real machine at this point - none.
Used before openSUSE and Xubuntu...

Port DE on more decent core.

Debian, ultimate comfy OS. Slackware on netbook.

Because I like KDE and Ubuntu.

Name a desktop environment that's better than KDE you faggots. The only ones that come close are Budgie and Cinnamon.

kde has ram leakage

>gnome
>comfy

I use Manjaro with KDE

CentOS 6 on basically every system.
Going to switch to Slackware because fuck systemd.

Apart from the fact I installed the GNU userland on every Solaris and SCO system I had to admin.
