I used to run manjaro, but after some problems I decided to cut the middle man, and jumped to arch.
So now I use arch btw.

MX Linux. I can customize and use many obsecure programs really easily.

I've been maining endeavouros for a little over a year now. It's oddly easier than any other os I've ever run.

Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)

I am using Rocky Linux 9 on my home PC and Ubuntu 22.04 Server on my VPS.

I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.

Gentoo is my prefered distro.

[โ€“] GenBlob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.

I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)

[โ€“] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.

I recently just set up Mint on a virtual machine. I had the iso image and I knew how it's easy for me to get around, so I did it only to find the program I was looking for isn't what I thought it was. It's kinda my main go to for Linux work on a virtual machine because of how hassle free it tends to be for me.

That VM was made after I made the mistake of making a Liya one but not putting enough memory into the virtual hard disk.

I'm currently waiting to upgrade computers before I make the full jump since I already have everything set up just fine on my desktop, but I'm definitely thinking of starting with Mint for a general easy to use start or going to endeavourOS since I have some experience with that. (That's subject to change if I try more distros on virtual machines and find one I really like...)

My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.

Mint, yet on my old laptop. Still on Windows on my main PC
