So, title. Personally after trying out pretty much every major distro save gentoo, I've come back to Ubuntu because it just works and I can focus on my work. Did remove snap and install flatpak, but other than that it's mostly stock ubuntu.

I'm on EndeavorOS. It's essentially Arch Linux with very specific training wheels. I switched to it about a year ago and remain exceedingly happy with it.

EndeavourOS is Arch, nicely setup for a "Daily Driver" PC and for people who don't need to flex about installing Arch. I've used Arch, I like EndeavourOS better :)

Another vouch for EndeavourOS being Arch but with less hassle, I have installed and maintained for years both Arch and Gentoo and while I think those two are the best way to experience and learn Linux, I don't have as much time anymore, so I was trying out fedora for a while (left because some package lagged just a bit much for my preference; Emacs and some compilers/runtimes mainly) I wanted back into some cutting edge rolling-release distro.

I prefer Arch over debian testing and opensuse thumbleweed because of popularity and gaming, there is bigger chance that if a game has problems, these have been found out on arch especially with the steam deck technically increasing the user base of gamers on Arch.

EDIT: NixOS sound interesting because it might be even less time commitment to maintain I think(?), but the initial learning curve would be more time investment that EndeavourOS is since I'm very acquainted with how to upkeep and Arch system that I daily drive.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
