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?

I've been intrigued by CatchyOS, but it might be the contrarian in me that I side eye it because "that's the popular OS at the moment" lol

Fair enough. But some things are popular for a reason. Marx and Lenin are popular communist figures at the moment.

Oh definitely for sure. And I objectively see that CachyOS is great. Will try it out eventually haha
