>>59070576
I use Void Linux
the thing is, it's all Linux, same OS just bundled up with different software and a certain logo, don't distro hop, just choose one and stay on it forever

>>59070628
>void
might as well just use redstar OS

Windows 10 but when I do use linux I prefer fedora or kali

>>59070576
Mostly Raspian Lite for my Plex Server / Webserver ...

>>59070576
Arch for porn surfing

>>59070576
Debian

>>59070662
wouldn't mind that either
thing is hard to get root on RStarOS and installing xbps (Void's package manager) would be hard

>>59070576
Arch because I thought it would be a great challenge and I would learn a lot in the process. It wasnt, did learn some stuff
Now I'm here because I'm too lazy to go to Fedora or something

>>59070576
They're literally all the same shit. If you want to make any worthwhile comparison you'd compare the kernels, not packaged systems with the same shit running under the hood. Stop making meaningless posts.

I am vming it but without actually bare metal I can't say it's better than fedora or not.

because i'm a gentleman

Fedora. It just works and the software included is most unmodified.

>>59070591
Sounds pretty damn gay to me.

>>59070576
Debian here. I don't want Microsoft's finger in my arse. Also it works great with my hardware and it's easy and stable. Out of date? No, mang. I frankeinsteined mine. I don't have that problem. Sorry!

>>59070628
There's several things I need that Void hasn't packaged (yet)

xubuntu, just werks

>>59070576
Ubuntu
It just works. It's the best *buntu and unity is excellent no matter what retards here say. It's the only *buntu without screen tearing or a shitty looking DE. Kubuntu doesn't count when KDE Neon is better.

>>59071602
he's referring to Kali Linux, because it is a penetration testing distribution.

Manjoro because I like Arch but have no time to maintain it

Fedora. Gave it a go after dropping Ubuntu, it's nice.

>>59073227
kali is for script kiddies only beginners use it since they have no idea what they are doing. anyone in the industry knows what tools they use and install them on a different distro along with writing their own tools

Fedora because people said it was better than Ubuntu for various reasons. Can't attest to whether it actually is but I enjoy using it. I keep settling on various DEs and WMs before getting bored and changing, but I think i3 is too good to not continue using now. I don't see much of a reason to distro hop except for the short release cycles. Haven't upgraded to f25 yet so I'll see how that goes. May try out Debian in the future.

>>59072198
then compile from source you pleb

Void because no systemd and KISS

Gentoo because I figured I could learn a bit from installing it. Kept with it because I never really had any problems.

>>59073379
>kali is for script kiddies
holy shit, it's literally 2012 again

>>59073451

>>59070849
Which distro is that?

>>59070576
OpenSUSE Leap because it's easy, stable, btrfs by default, snapshots out of the box, best KDE experience, better than ubuntu for real work and it has some more nice things like yast, OBS, and a cool mascot.

>>59070628
>don't distro hop
Still no fun eh?

>>59070576
Mint. It was easy to use and didn't give me any trouble like xp. Old comp can't run 7. Grew to like it as a main os.

Unironically Arch, because I like the rolling release and up to date repos.

up until tonight, I used Debian on my school laptop
now that I don't need it, I'm installing Arch on it as a fun project
got my wireless card working and I can boot from grub

>>59072298
its funny because you said penetration

>>59074632
I doesn't agree at all. I had it installd on 2 seperate occasions and it was buggy as hell. The worsk KDE experience I've had. One thing I I did like was that it looked very good.

mint
i totally chose to use it specifically because i like the flavor of mint

i'm not well travelled when it comes to distros

Gentoo and Linux From Scratch using Portage

Slackware Linux, stable as hell and not as old as Debian IMHO.
I have 6 years using it as my main desktop distro.
No distrohopping here, I just know my stuff and what I want.

Mint xfce.
Because it looked the most like windows, but didn't have all the serial# and virus and didn't rot over time.
It just werks. I just used Win in a VM if I had to, but haven't done it for years.
I've got a few laptops with W10, but I never have the urge to use them.

>>59076616
xubuntu > mint

och god mint xfce is broken as fuck, and if you want "something like linux" you dont deserve Linux at all

I'm using Manjaro now, but I've hopped around a lot

>>59076633
autist

>>59070576
Ubuntu, cause it is just perfect when you are a web dev

dualboot win10 / Xubuntu, i was using Mint, but with the last update everything went to shit on it, (slow, laggy, Nvidia drivers just went nuts etc.)

it feels like xubuntu did everything like mint but in better way, but still it cant handle with second monitor perfetly

>>59070576
is OSX a distro?

Can't beat the meme.

Ubuntu with Gnome Shell.

>more experience with debian based distros
Most relevant would be Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint
>Debian
Kernel version is too old for me, regardless of if I'm on stable/testing. Bugs in testing can linger for long periods too.
>Ubuntu
Hate unity, but you can install gnome shell or use Ubuntu Gnome. Stable enough, newer hardware support with newer kernel, lots of support due to popularity
>Mint
I see no reason to use this over straight Ubuntu if I don't like Cinnamon

Even if I didn't want a Debian base I'd still stick with Ubuntu.
>Want good gnome shell support and newer software
Fedora?
>releases only supported for 13 months when Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years
I like Fedora but I also like longer support

I've distro hopped a lot, but I just like Ubuntu.

>>59076779
>Fedora gets updated too fast
thats the price for new features, pal

>>59076847
I didn't say it got updated too fast, I said the releases aren't support as long. Can you read? I know they are somewhat related, but that's not the same thing.

I used only Fedora for 2 years and still like it, but I can easily go over 13 months without wanting or needing to upgrade my system.

Windows 7 for lyfe

>>59076864
sorry for misunderstanding,

but, its too problematic to upgrade whole system for you? Yea it can kill half of a day to make it back to point where you can use it, but if you prepare for it (move non-system related data to second partition, make a list/script for installing all programs what you commonly use) etc.

i think thats a price of laziness...

Ubuntu and Microsoft at home, Mac OS at work.

>>59076994
>laziness
Maybe. I use Linux for work too, so I don't want to spend a work day doing nothing but upgrading my OS and getting all my programs setup. Need to be doing actual work. I think it boils down to not seeing enough of a benefit to bother upgrading more than every 2/3 years or so.

That said, if it's no issue for you then more power to you.

>>59077039
cant argue with that, i use linux primary for work too

Linux Mint right now, but I'm gonna switch to Ubuntu Gnome when I get a new laptop so I can get those sweet gestures (hopefully they work even on X, not just Wayland)

Why would anyone use that?

I use Debian PRIMARILY just due to Kali being based on it. I prefer it, and its configuration way more than Ubuntu.

Ubuntu also has l0calr00ts being published for it every couple of weeks it seems. nty.

I've used manjaro for quite some time now with XFCE.

Ok.

>>59073359
How is your passthrough going? Is it something that could replace this disease ridden hellhole of an os called W10?

>>59078415
Works just as good as opensuse's version.

Lubuntu because it's lightweight for my old laptop.

It is an Office, everybody uses Macs here and I was given a Company MacBook Pro, never used anything beyond it because I know they're tracking my usage.

I also tape the webcam, I've seen exploits on it from my Colleagues, though they still can't figure out to turn off the LED when being monitored.

>>59078948
What about for smelly shit?

Windows 10 / Mint

>>59079093
The biggest problem is that the MacBooks are contracted directly from Apple, we have specific Apps that we use on machines. Even if I somehow manage to partition the drive or install Bootcamp it's still to get past the network, since they've made sure that You can only connect if they Botnetfied the MacBook.

Still, it's okay for browsing Normie sites like Facebook, Reddit and Imgur.

openSUSE with a Windows 7 VM for Office shit, I don't play gaymen often so 90% of my Steam library is compatible

>>59070576
Solus

>Why?
Because it's fast and snappy, and has what I need to get shit done. The Budgie desktop is comfy as fuck. The repo is clean and everything within it is guaranteed to work. Sure, I don't have 30 options for application X, but the ones that I can use, function. I also like that it manages to stay updated without becoming a buggy piece of shit.

I also like the head developer, Ikey, and the direction he's taking the project.

My only negative is the ALT-Tab, but it's been promised as a fix in the next major update.

openSUSE
Bacause of zypper and YAST. In times of KDE4 I also shilled for KDE, but after switching to 5 I'm in doubts.

>>59076351
KDE is buggy in any distro that doesn't ship an ancient version of it.

Trisquel OS

>>59070576
none
but recommend me a GOOD one

>>59080090
Most professional artists use Mac OS, even music producers. I use Windows, and I hate that macfag guy who is the only active VST torrent uploader (nearly all of his fucking uploads are for MAC OS X).

xubuntu because it justwerks

>>59070576

Devuan, because it's Debian without NSA/systemd.

Whats with Trisquel Linux?

Parabola. I like up-to-date packages, I like pacman, and I like freedom.

>>59070576
Windows 7 on my gaming machine since it's the only viable gaming OS due 8 and 10 having a limit of 4GB of video memory in DirectX 9.
On my work laptop I use Solus currently but I switch distros every year on that.
On my server I use Debian because so far nothing has broken and I haven't had to do any extra work due to issues with the OS.

>>59070576
I currently use Redstone 1

Fedora, because it's the best mainstream distro. Up-to-date, yet stable, and comes with SELinux.

Gentoo because no systemd and no pulseaudio. And a huge repo.

Fedora server and workstation because I like a functioning work environment

>>59076543
this + 9 years.
really is the best Linux
simple to configure, simple to manage, simple to install/upgrade, and you can be 100% confident that the base system won't break

I cannot believe the word "shill" has not been uttered even once so far in this thread.

Payed Windows pajeets please just give up, Windows will never be cool.
