From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

I've been running Kubuntu for a decade, (including the dark days of of early 4.0, 4.1). Kubuntu has been striking a nice balance of newish software, newish kernel and newish KDE

Though recent changes like the snapification of Firefox has left a bad taste. Might try OpenSuse KDE or Fedore KDE instead soon

Flatpak and AppImages has also changed the equation a lot, so maybe an old/stable base like Neon or Debian isn't so bad anymore
