Their recommendation usually starts with a disclaimer, and ends with "But it's worth it, cause you can easily clone your machine".
For me, one look at https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#ch-configuration and https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options is enough to know it's way too much hassle for me. I'll stick with Slackware.

I use Fedora. It fucks up less than Win11, so I’m sticking with it.

Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you're in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).

I can't handle Debian; my heart constantly craves shiny new things.

I like baszite. I'm not in love with it, but it does most things I want it to do right out of the box, and it comes with steam installed which is convenient

I don't want to brag, but I have like 5 Linux distros in my garage. And I drive them all, regularly.

I've used debian/Ubuntu based distros most of my life, so that's what I'm most comfortable with, I've used arch/suse/Gentoo here and there but I always go back to debian based.

Currently on pop os and have been daily driving cosmic desktop since alpha, REALLY happy with it. I attempted to install cachyos and the installer was super polished, but then it wouldn't boot on my hardware, so I went back to pop.

Im guilty of this. As long as they are using Linux though it makes me happy.

WHY DOES NO ONE GET THAT IT DEPENDS?
... srsly tho, how do you want your distro to be?

bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 204d

I use a dependency manager, so I don’t need to think about “it depends”.

I drive an e-up! and use Alpine Linux btw. Both gets the job done without too much fuss or unnecessary bloat.

afk_strats@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 206d (1 reply)

You use Alpine as a daily driver? With a GUI? How does it do with hardware support?

jakobmn@feddit.dk · 4 pts · 206d

I use it on a Thinkpad x60s where Alpine has a lot better support for such old hardware. But I use an arm based chromebook with PostmarketOS more often (also Alpine based). At work it's either Alpine or NixOS for headless servers.

I am quite satisfied with my OpenSuse Tumbleweed

other_cat@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 199d

I have Mint on my main PC but I put open suse tumbleweed on my laptop and I gotta say, I kind of love it. I probably won't swap my main PC unless Mint does something to upset me, but I'm glad I have a fallback.
