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).

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.

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

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.

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.
