I'm wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

Been using Xubuntu 23.10 recently, but I'm kind of a distro hopper. I need ROCm and some other special (proprietary, ehh) tools that require RHEL, SLE, or some Ubuntu flavor. I also like having a working out-of-the-box configuration. I've used openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch Linux before, might try it again but it's a little bit complicated to me.

I love using Alpine Linux on my server. Super light and quick to start up.

How do people feel about Garuda? I put it on a laptop to try it out. I'm still undecided.

I've become a fan of KDE Neon. It's based on Ubuntu LTS but with the the most up-to-date KDE release.

Annie Linux, but sadly it doesn't exist yet.

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.

The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don't want something else. Now I'm just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I'm not a fan of endless parentheses)

Ublue although it's kinda still fedora, otherwise alpine even though I don't really use it.

[-] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Manjaro KDE for me - it's not Arch per se, otherwise Ubuntu would also be eliminated for being a derivative of Debian...

[-] 0xD@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

Kali Linux! Just too useful, though there can still be some fixing around.

I like Poky. But for other use case than Arch, Debian and Fedora.

I've been enjoying Mint personally for my laptop. I've tried Ubuntu but I've had issues with the speakers :/

[-] THE_ANON@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

[-] Psynthesis@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Puppy with what underlying distro though?

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Puppy has their own but can be based on a lot of the main distros. I've used it to recover data from many a computer.

[-] galloFino@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ubuntu is so easy to use!!

[-] Sims@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Guix is imho beyond normal distros, and I'm never going back to Manjaro or any of the normal distros.

[-] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Toaster Linux or Nobara.

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.
