What are people daily driving these days?

I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?

I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)

Secret300,

Fedora. I’ve been looking into fedora silverblue and vanilla os as well but I’m chilling with regular fedora for now

I was using Fedora for about a year and it was great. Nice and stable, almost everything worked out of the box. Then I goofed up an update and had to install something new, and I chose Arch. Arch is working mostly fine, of course I had to learn a thing or two about how some subsystems worked but the Arch wiki is a wonderful resource. We’ll see how long this install lasts, it’s been smooth sailing for about a month now.

Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.

Can’t say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about being a purist, don’t care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.

I run Guix System on my personal laptop and Project Bluefin on my work machine.

Guix is even easier to get started with now thanks to the Guix Packager , a web UI for writing Guix package definitions.

Project Bluefin auto-updates thanks to its use of container images deliver system updates. It’s also just a great platform to get started writing containerized apps, since it ships with rootless Podman by default and you can easily add new developer tools using just commands.

Potajito,

Another one for the endevour os team. Not looking to distro hop anytime soon.

lautan,

Popos on the Framework laptop. It’s pretty good so far.

Adonnen,

Never omit the space

GreyFalcon,

Manjaro kde on 3 computers in the ham shack, manjaro KDE on the media center, and guess what’s on the two lap tops…you got it…manjaro KDE. Most have windows 10 dual boot on a separate drive. I haven’t spent the time to figure out radio control and antenna switching on Linux so windows is still needed for radio contesting.

I have tried many and keep going back to manjaro, everything just works. The Arch wiki is awesome, and the aur has multiviewer to F1, ready to go.

LeFantome,

Give EndeavourOS a go one of these days and compare it head-to-head with Manjaro. I bet you never look back.

GreyFalcon,

Already tried it a few times. Back to manjaro.

Mint for my daily driver, PopOS for my gaming machine. Happy with both.
