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.

elementary! I like it, been using it since ~2018, I like its style and I don’t mind reinstalling for major updates. They’re pretty seldom if you’re on the LTS branch anyway

Xubuntu. Convenience of ubuntu, less cluttered UI.

Fedora because I like this out of the box look more than Ubuntu and it runs my games well with my nvidia card

I have one Ubuntu and one fedora server. Honestly they’re both fine.

I started using linux seriously with Manjaro, but since I didn't know what AUR really was I fucked my system up (thank NVIDIA drivers for that). Then I switched to arch, learned everything I should have known on the arch wiki. So yeah, I use arch btw.

For me i started linux seriously with fedora,Some packages was hard to get so i went with cachyos.

OMG I use cachyOS too, for the same reasons, plus I love how much I can tinker with it.
