The biggest selling point for Fedora IMO is the way it handles UEFI and Secure Boot. I haven’t found anything comparable. Securing the proprietary garbage running on your main board is critical regardless of your OS.

UnsyllabledQuickies ,

Can you elaborate or point me to some resources? I’d like to hear more about this because I’ve wondered for a while what to do about Secure Boot on my machine.

Debian support it too. The kernel is secure boot ready and it’s very easy to sign nvidia kernel module with the default shipped key via mok.

Here’s an incomplete list of my daily drivers since…well, I’m old.

  • QNX Neutrino
  • Mandrake 7.2
  • RedHat 7.1
  • Went back to Windoze for quite a while
  • Gentoo
  • Ubuntu (quite a leap there)
  • OS X
  • Linux Mint
  • Debian
  • LMDE
  • Fedora
  • KDE Neon
  • macOS
  • Fedora Asahi

I’m sure I’ve missed the odd one or two (and I regularly jumped back and forth with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint for years and years).

I used to distro hop a lot, so if I only used it for less than a month, I haven’t bothered to list it.

LeFantome ,

Love that list. I am also old. I used SLS, Slackware, and stuff with the .99.x release numbers I switched to Red Hat around 4.1 I think and went to Mandrake from there. And then…

You never used Arch? Not even for Asahi?

allywilson ,

I built Arch (twice I think) but only ever in a VM to have a look around, never made it my daily driver. Used Manjaro for a couple of weeks, but I wouldn’t say it was a daily driver either.

Nobara on my desktop, Pop_os! on my laptop. As soon as the new COSMIC DE is ready I will switch to Pop on my desktop as well.

For now, it’s Debian 12 with KDE Plasma. But I’m really interested in Immutable Systems. I like OpenSuse Kapla, but the KDE Integration is still in alpha. There are still a few shortcomings with the only flatpak approach, like the fact that the Steam Flatpak can’t provide smooth wireless controller support because of lacking permissions.

I’ve found success installing Steam and other stuff using distrobox on openSUSE Kalpa. The initial setup isn’t as easy as installing a flatpak, but after a quick distrobox-export it’s totally seamless.

Modified Ubuntu, Snap-less…

frap129 ,

Arch for the last 8ish years. I’m interested in switching to something immutable and with a declarative package manager, but every time I try something else I end up back on arch. It works and has all the packages I use ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For me it’s tumbleweed at the moment it’s defaults like btrfs and snapper are how I used to setup fedora. Then there’s the tools like OBS and yast that are super useful it’s rolling but well tested before it gets to you

Jayb151 ,

I’ll only mention it because I haven’t seen it yet, I just installed endeavor os and it’s been pretty Great

Owljfien ,

Arch on my main pc, and Ubuntu on my server, only reason it’s Ubuntu is I needed 6.2 kernel for my Intel arc encoding card and debian based for the arrs

Dranadia ,

Manjaro with KDE. I’ve only been running Linux for a month, and found Arch a bit intimidating, so to me Manjaro was the closest I dare fly to the sun. Really liking it so far.

LeFantome ,

I used to love Manjaro. It seems great when you use it. Word of warning though, it will break on you at some point. When it does, instead of abandoning Arch distros completely, consider giving EndeavourOS a shot.

Dranadia ,

Thanks for the tips, and the heads up. EndeavourOS was on my list when I tried to figure out what to go for, so I’ll definitely try that when Manjaro breaks.

sharkfucker420 ,

Arch btw

jg1i ,

Arch, btw. With GNOME.

sharkfucker420 ,

Seconded

atlasraven31 ,

Zorin OS. No muss, no fuss. I’ve been wanting to hop to Endeavor or Pop! just to do something different.

I mainly play games and watch movies.

Fedora Workstation. It’s fast and stable.

Everything I use is available either as a Flatpak or a RPM.

FQQD ,

I used Feren OS for a long time, but now i prefer Cachy OS and Vanilla Arch on my laptop, both with KDE Plasma

LeFantome ,

Do you mean vanilla Arch or Vanilla ( with Arch )?

FQQD ,

Just Arch linux as in I got it from the official Arch website
