    I like baszite. I’m not in love with it, but it does most things I want it to do right out of the box, and it comes with steam installed which is convenient

      I use a dependency manager, so I don’t need to think about “it depends”.

    Same but among arch users it’s “your config” and “my config”.

    I drive an e-up! and use Alpine Linux btw. Both gets the job done without too much fuss or unnecessary bloat.

      You use Alpine as a daily driver? With a GUI? How does it do with hardware support?

        I use it on a Thinkpad x60s where Alpine has a lot better support for such old hardware. But I use an arm based chromebook with PostmarketOS more often (also Alpine based). At work it’s either Alpine or NixOS for headless servers.

    I’ve used debian/Ubuntu based distros most of my life, so that’s what I’m most comfortable with, I’ve used arch/suse/Gentoo here and there but I always go back to debian based.

    Currently on pop os and have been daily driving cosmic desktop since alpha, REALLY happy with it. I attempted to install cachyos and the installer was super polished, but then it wouldn’t boot on my hardware, so I went back to pop.

          Don’t install NixOS because it’s got Anduril and Palantir all over it.

              Big users, contributors, and sponsors. Sponsored Nixcon. The nix organisation seems to have no problem with this.

          I’d be willing to argue that running anything OTHER than NixOS is insanity. Except maybe Debian. Everyone loves Debian.

        Is it? Haven’t met any very forthcoming NixOS users yet, but time will tell.

    I use Fedora. It fucks up less than Win11, so I’m sticking with it.

      Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
