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.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Right now I'm using PopOs but I'll switch to Opensuse Leap or Fedora. I hope they don't give me any trouble with the Nvidia drivers

On Fedora: My (proprietary) nvidia drivers only broke once (after updating from version 36 to 37) but it was easily solved after some googling.

Hmm... I don't know what could have been. It crashed even after a clean install, for no apparent reason, and those crashes have continued in PopOS, NobaraOS and Tumbleweed aswell. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Sure. It'a a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. AMD Ryzen 6800H and NVIDIA RTX 3070. I think the issue might be with the AMD Radeon integrated graphics, but I don't know what else to do but use WSL or pray it doesn't suddenly reboot while using PopOS.
