os thread - what are you running?

i used debian as a daily driver - work and gaming - years ago but fell back to windows as wine was not where it needed to be for me
every time i installed w10 i had to run debloat scripts (to remove candy crush of all things???) and now, with the invasive adware baked into the shell and the w11 preview builds breaking due to a downed ad server, i decided to jump ship again
i looked into the moden and popular linux distros around and decided to give https://elementary.io/ a try. i really do love their focus on ui/ux consistency and being batteries included
i did swap over to and have been using https://pop.system76.com/ for a few months though as it's a more configurable

i think it's amazing where gaming on linux is at now. i hadn't been paying attention for a few years but now there's lutris and steam's proton fills in so many gaps. though there are some anticheats that break some games on proton. i wonder how/if valve will handle those with the deck

also flatpak? things are so easy now and i'm really grateful to developers who have dedicated linux releases and to community members who fix up scripts and recipes for those who don't yet
also i am aware of https://flatkill.org/ but there are responses to it like https://theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2021/02/11/response-to-flatkill-org.html
i'm also not that linux smart so i do not really know what's best for security but i imagine those same people complain about piping a remote url into `sh` but then install a downloaded `.deb` or use `brew install` anyways

Arch because I like being pedantic. One day I'll do gentoo but I'm not brave enough for that anytime soon.

Manjaro because it's a nice rolling release distro that just werks (relatively speaking). I tried Arch, got a working system without X, and then decided that it wasn't worth the effort and installed Manjaro. Pathetic, I know. I lack patience.

@185 opting for convenience isn't pathetic. not everybody wants to have to tweak everything to have a workable setup

Ubuntu. I've tried a lot of other distros but I always end up coming back to it. I might try Zorin next time I do an install, but that's also Ubuntu based.

Using FreeBSD for about 2 years now. It works, doesn't get in the way and have lots of packages (I use pkg). Bhyve seems interesting, and ZFS with compression is nice.
For Android develepment (with Android Studio, so there is no FreeBSD version) I use Void Linux.
