What distros are you running? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been a Linux user for about a decade and a half, most of that time I've been using OpenSUSE, but recently I've been hopping again.

For my main machine, I needed a distro that natively runs and installs .deb packages at root for the program used for my language lessons (fcitx5 nor ibus played well with sandboxes) so I've landed on Kubuntu for that machine.

But I'm really intrigued by the setup of VanillaOS, apx seems like such a perfect solution in many ways to my needs, but I don't have as much experience with immutable distros.

Lastly I'm fascinated with NixOS, and really want to get into it, but life is just so busy that I don't have the energy to devote to learning it.

So, what about you folks?

Arch btw, It's been chugging along for almost 3 years now. I was expecting it to be much more unstable than it actually is, but aside from the occasional broken package upgrade that I need to google for 5 mins and fix, I had no outstanding issues.

Nice! I haven't messed with Arch based distros much, only used EndeavorOS for a while back in 2021 for awhile.

I really appreciate it for a lot of things and think that the design is elegant.
