Started with CentOS, then Ubuntu on servers.
I finally started to get comfortable in Linux on desktop with Pop!_OS.
Now I’m getting into Arch and exploring i3wm and xmonad.
I started with Ubuntu, then I tried fedora, and now I’m switch to ElementaryOS because this simplicity, but i really like Debian. In the future y like try Qubes.
I’m with you, running NixOS+GNOME on a Razer Blade Stealth and haven’t been happier! I switched from Arch ~7 months ago - it just feels like a whole other league of portability and reliability.
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.

Fedora with gnome 40
settled on Arch Linux, after distrohopping a thousand times, it’s minimal yet it feels complete…

Ubuntu for laptop, Manjaro for desktop.
I like Ubuntu’s driver support and I can go anywhere (pre-COVID) without worrying as much if a usb device is going to work.
Manjaro is awesome for steam, itch.io, GOG, etc… Most of our games work in Linux now and its been a seamless experience.
Crazy, this is exactly what I landed on as well. I install Elementary OS on family computers.

Arch is good for customization. But I value my time more and so rather have something that works to keep it simple and hence use Debian
Debian Stable. Old, but it works and that’s all I want my computer to do
linux mint, runs team fortress 2 well enough
… and that’s all you really need :)
nothing could be more true than this

NixOS. Once you go declarative, you never want to configure anything imperatively again.
Here’s the configuration common to all my desktop machines if you want to get a taste of what NixOS is like.

blackarch GNU/Linux with wayland/sway amdgpu. vim. tut, gomuks, etc
haiku (not linux, but c’mon, unix counts) and opensuse on laptop for the past several months— before that, openbsd and parabola for years.
