What distro are you running?

What distro are you running? How long have you been using it? Do you plan to stick with it? I’ve been on Manjaro Plasma since December 2018. It has been running super solid on my main machine, so I have no plans to hope anytime soon. I was having issues with it on my laptop (Nvidia bumblebee graphics) so I have the super solid Kubuntu on it. I’d like to get Manjaro back on that system, we’ll see when I have time to do it.

This is a chart of my count (up to the last post: Jun 17, 2021) being careful of the many duplicates, nuances and honoring when users repost to say they’ve moved to different distro(s).

Tab-deliminated:

Proof that contrary to long-standing rumours, computer scientists can count

Thanks for this - it’s very useful. I’m cheering for Debian, not that I’m a fanboy or anything

Wow. Respect.

Thanks, everyone - very informative and entertaining, as ever

Gerald was so inspiring last time he was on too, so it was great to see him back with cool updates on Suse. I wonder if such frequent updates means Tumbleweed’s even better suited to latest harder than Fedora? In any case, I definitely agree that keeping the word out on Suse could benefit the community as they’re clearly doing so-much for everyone!

NVidia - finally, thank you thank you thank you - I’m not a fan, but we’ve so been needing this in the community!
