Debian: stability

Same! Distrohopped for years, but for ~15 years Debian has been rock solid for both desktop and home minimal server.

Same. After 20 years of distro hopping and living on latest releases, Debian feels like home with the least amount of broken packages and general overall panic.

Kubuntu on some machines, KDE Neon on others. Ubuntu Server on my home servers.

Fedora. I love Debian as well, but both of my computers needed more recent libraries, and now I’m curious to see how far I can take these installs.

Debian + Gnome: I don’t game and have a limited wifi connection and Debian gives me stability, ease of use and I don’t need to run an update more than once a week

Started with Arch for 2 years -> Fedora Workstation for 1,5 years -> Fedora Silverblue until now

openSUSE Tumbleweed, because real life got a little too much and I wanted something that just worked.

Windows -> macos -> pop os -> debian -> fedora ↓ Now

  • linux mint(desktop)
  • slackware(laptop)
  • arch linux(Kvm/Qemu for gaming)
  • Netbsd(older hardware/for fun)

do you get good battery life with slackware?

Junkdata ,

Sorry for late reply

For about 4 hours i beleive. Though it used to be longer as i have had it for over a year and the battery not like it used to be.

Kde is the default desktop eviornment.

It helps that its a non systemd init system so it doesnt pull as much resources on the backend since systemwide is controlled via scripts.

If i were to run a lighter one such as xfce, qtile or dwm it would run longer(varies on configuration though)

I hopped around in Debian-Land for a while before switching to Manjaro, converting it to Arch later on.

Now I stay with Arch because it just works and doesn’t break on me.

Windows -> MacOS -> Manjaro -> Arch

I’m in love with arch so I won’t be switching anytime soon.

Fedora Silverblue. Solid like Debian but doesn’t break and require reinstall when I tinker around.

Arch btw

Same, though I’m (sorta) not using it now, and I don’t know that I could’ve been considered a hopper.

I started with Ubuntu then gave Gentoo a shot. Got tired of the maintenance and went with LMDE. Switched back to Windows when I switched my gaming from console to PC.

A few years ago I read about Proton and decided to check my Steam library against ProtonDB. All the games I still played (and most that I had stopped) were rated gold or higher. At that point I was done with Windows, at least for machines I own, and gave Arch a shot.

I stuck with that until my power supply died and will be going back to it once I can afford to build a good PC. For now I’m just using my Steam Deck and hooking it up to a dock when I’m at my desk. It runs SteamOS which is Arch-based but a different experience for sure. I can still use Pacman and the AUR, but with some hefty caveats that almost make it not worth it.

LXQT on Arch

Never really distro hopped. Went from DOSLinux to Slackware and stayed put as my main. Having multiple machines, some multi booters, meant I had/tried a bunch of others. Vector Linux, Xubuntu, Debian Wheezy, several Arch-based (up to Garuda), various BSDs, and two unices (OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana, IRIX). Got an old ancient ToughBook (Pentiun II, 192MB RAM) with Arch before systemd collecting dust.

[ Those machines had multiple Windows versions also from Win2k to Win7 including XP x64 Edition ] Dem were da days. 🥰

Currently, Main laptop: Slackware. 2nd laptop: MX Linux, Void Linux, OpenBSD. Mini PC: Slint (Slackware-based).

Well, for the mini PC I did distro hop. Went through a lot trying to find the right one. Most were Arch-based (but not Arch itself) and they would indeed break at the worst time. Nature of bleeding edge rolling release I guess. Mostly I was looking for something non-systemd. Eventually settled on Slint.

Ubuntu.

I jumped from Ubuntu to Fedora to Netrunner to Arch to Gentoo to Mint then back to Ubuntu.

Did I regret it? Nah, I learned alot with my adventure but these days I just prefer the common distro denominator. Although to be fair my Ubuntu isn’t exactly a vanilla Ubuntu as I did add some changes I see fit.
