    Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.

    I use ArchLinux BTW, because

    1. It’s very minimal, no bloatware
    2. AUR
      3. I feel superior
    3. It just works™*

    We’re an all-linux household.

    • Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
    • Garuda on my Framework laptop
    • Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
    • Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.

    NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.

    Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.

    Btw I use Archlinux

    I switched to it 50% for the AUR: I regularly install softwares not from the classic repos, and the AUR is a godsend compared to cloning a Github, make install and thinking about updating it. The rest is a mix of the ArchWiki, its lightness and openness.

    fedora

    overall a great experience, very easy to set up and configure, great software support, excellent privacy, etc. my personal favorite linux distro atm. i also like gnome a lot, especially once tweaked with good extensions like dash to dock and transparent top bar.

    fuck microsoft and windows.

    I use NixOS. The nice thing about NixOS is that you can set the state of most of your computer in a file or files that can be tracked on git, and any updates can be rolled back.

    Linux. I use Arch on my laptop and PopOS on my gaming rig. Still using Windows on my company laptop, but daily driving Linux on the others for over a year now.

    Really dislike the Microsoft push for telemetry as well as the integrated ads and other processes wasting my resources.
