I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

Debian for my daily workstation. Minimal terminal-only install, and then I piece together my environment.

For smaller, headless applications I like Alpine. Containerized projects, VPS, etc.

Okay. What are your thoughts of KISS linux? It’s pretty minimalistic and have a very tiny package manager which is written entirely in Bash script.

I’m unfamiliar with KISS. I don’t really distro hop, since what I use has satisfied all my needs to date.

Debian is KISS. Grab it and use, no need to overcomplicate things.

KISS-ish. Default init is systemd. Debian also provides customized configuration of services.

Building a deb package isn’t that straightforward as Arch’s PKGBUILD.

Sounds like a remake of Slackware.

I’m sorry but it’s not great for beginners. It’s a rolling bleeding edge distro that does not break often but when it does you need to know how stuff works to fix it.

I really love NixOS and use it on all my devices. Its not as difficult as people say and it really makes the linux experience a piece of cake once you get it down.

The single config file to control almost everything is just what I was looking for in linux and the fact that it solved any kind of dependency hell I have experienced in the past is huge. If I had to list a top 3 it would be NixOS, Fedora, and Arch.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
