   Which Linux distro are you all rocking these days, and why?

     @Linux4Everyone Just switched over to Pop!_os like a week or two ago, but i've been running fedora for the last 5 years.
     The reason is that since Cosmic is relatively new, maybe i can mean something in it's development by way of fixing bugs or whatnot. Never had any issues with fedora, but i'm really liking where pop!_os is headed so i'm trying to keep on top of it :)

     Fedora Silverblue on desktop.
     Fedora IoT on home server.
     Bazzite on my HTPC (we call it BMO box because of the startup movie I set as BMO from adventure time).
     Bluefin on family laptop.
     PureOS on phone.

     @waimus Nice! Can’t remember the last time I made it that long without distro hopping.

     @Linux4Everyone I definitely recommend it for a gaming distribution. Which reminds me I use SteamOS on my steam deck hah, whoops.

     Bazzite is great. It turned my HX99G into the perfect Steam Machine game console.

     @k Ha! Yea, I’ve found the Arch Wiki has solutions to a ton of issues even outside of Arch itself.

     @Linux4Everyone Arch as my main OS and Mint (Debian Edition) for work and relatives.

     Both just keep on chugging and have great communities around them. Also Arch wiki has a solution to 99.99% of my issues with it. And LMDE w/Auto Updates is a lifesaver for relatives 🥳

     @Linux4Everyone why hop all of the time, because you can, or actually looking for something that is missing, I always wonder. On the other hand, I currently have three Linux laptops and they run Fedora, Arch and Debian, so maybe I have no urge to switch, as I’m very well covered.

     @tuxlife For me personally, it was always about discovering the nuances and perks of each distro, and trying to convey that to my audience (especially for Linux newcomers).

     Also, I may have a very strange addiction to installers...

     Kubuntu primarily, seems to be most functional out-of-box for me, and also probably due simply to familiarity with 'Buntus for years now.

     @jabeez Solid reasoning, and KDE's default apps are fantastic.

     @vancha Wow, it's been a minute (3 years or so?) since i've used Pop. Might be time to circle back.

     @Linux4Everyone Could be worth a try ^ ^
     I'm fine with both, and for my day to day work the two would be identical. I wonder how suitable the new version of pop would be for the average user when it comes out though. It's likely to be a little rough around the edges, although the beta does look promising already. A bit bare-bones, but promising.

     @Linux4Everyone presently on RebornOS - I came back to Linux a few months back and have always been a KDE fan and wanted plasma 6 and having used manjaro before wanted a Arch base. However I don't like living on the command line (so not EndeavourOS) and Manjaro keeps breaking for me/still hadn't gone to plasma 6. Hence I found RebornOS which is more gui focused and have had no problems with at all. Love their installer options too. Surprised it is still a lesser known distro tbh.

     @Linux4Everyone Got a few things:
     - SteamOS for Steam Deck cause I dont wanna tinker for gaming much
     - Arch on one thinkpad
     - PopOS on an old asus laptop that served me quite well
     - Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi
     - NixOS on my home server (another old laptop) and my current framework machine

     So far loving the NixOS stability, rollbacks after a failed experiment and ephemeral shells are great, so my end goal is to get one config to set all the machines except the deck.

     @reshi Thank you! NixOS is high on my list of distros to dig into.

     @thepmofam Nice! I've landed on Garuda (the gaming edition) which uses a SLICK customized Plasma. I absolutely adore it!

     @Linux4Everyone Just saw this. I'm currently rocking Fedora 40 KDE on both my main rig and my laptop. Plasma 6.1.1 is insanely good and has brought me back to using Plasma full time.
