Manjaro gang here. I just started using it a few weeks ago and it’s been great. I tried Ubuntu as my first distro for like 2 weeks before that but it gave me a lot of issues so I swapped to Manjaro.
Also I’m dual booting with Windows because I want to play online games with my friends that dont support Linux.
My audio broke outside of system sounds and I spent a day trying to fix it before deciding to try another distro. That and it kept giving me errors when I installed software from the software application it has.
Arch arch arch arch arch arch arch forever i love it
If you use Ubuntu you're nothing but a person who sensibly values their time and doesn't need to manually install HP drivers and then mess with the cups web interface to add a dumbass Laserjet printer but also I can control whether my laptop uses the Intel igpu or the Nvidia dgpu manually and that's comfy 😌
Ubuntu 18 cuz
I'm a libit was the easiest and most recomended by peers and I can run it.Pop!_OS gang. System76 knows how to actually deal with the gripes that regular users have about Linux. And, they aren't pushing snaps, which is cool.
I've used Fedora for the past 3 years. Before that I distrohopped from Ubuntu to Fedora to Arch to Gentoo, and I settled on Fedora because it is stable and provides a nice GNOME experience.
manjaro kde here.
i was a (k)ubuntu user for a long time but it didn’t seem to like my hardware at all (i have a nvidia gpu), and it felt i was constantly patching shit up and holding my system together with duct tape. ran into lots of graphical glitches and years-old bugs with no fixes in sight. towards the end my computer could no longer sleep, and entire applications/desktop components became completely obscured with visual noise that could only be removed with a restart.
miraculously, all these issues disappeared when i switched to manjaro, even though my window manager is the same. my experience has been slick as hell, and i love the rolling release. feels great to have an os that just works.
Triple-booting Gentoo, Fedora, and Windows. Daily-driving Gentoo for the meantime. I had been using Fedora for a few years, but since I started working on chapo.chat I needed something which could run Docker, and Fedora made this a difficult because it uses NFTables while Docker wants IPTables. Not knowing how much things would break if I made the switch, I decided to whip up a Gentoo system from scratch that fit my needs. It's been running well for the past few weeks, but I haven't gotten around to setting up the nvidia drivers or anything gaming related yet. That said, the Nouveau driver works so much better for daily non-intensive use than it used to.
Before I set up Gentoo, I was triple-booting FreeBSD, Fedora, and Windows, but I botched my BSD system a while ago and the 200GB solid state partition had been sitting dormant. That FreeBSD system was really sweet when I had it set up though. I invested an obscene amount of time ricing Herbstluftwm with a dope ass conky script and coordinating color themes between various applications. I had fucking XTerm looking slicker than I've ever seen it anywhere else in my life. XTerm! And it was hooked up with the Nvidia drivers and doing full acceleration.
