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?

Fascinating! Thanks for your thoughts!

I tried out Void for a bit back in the day, but bounced off of it because of the DE, so it felt arcane to me. Very admirable group though, so I respect their work.

Yeah the Nvidia stuff has been a really tough one in the grand scheme of things to manage. I've been an AMD person from the start, so it never crosses my mind, (and now I'm constantly looking at the Chinese competitor market for when they overtake AMD and Nvidia).

Niri is really fascinating! I have yet to experiment with it or the other tiling styles, but one of my friends uses Niri and loves it. I think I'm just so used to my normal workflow at this point.

Oh, that makes sense. I don't have a SteamDeck, but that makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't want to be tied to steam/valve, but the stability and interface makes a hell of a lot of sense.
