If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?
Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less “Canonical”-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).
Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people’s experiences, there are no wrong answers.
Edit: Thanks for the lots of interesting answers and discussions. I will try a few of the suggestions in a VM.
I used a linux desktop for a few years back in 08-09, started on ubuntu then got on the Gentooooooooooo bandwagon. (Went back to Windows after this due to college + games, naturally)
Ever since then, I just use stable LTS versions of either debian or ubuntu for server applications. Recently changed back to Linux on desktop and went with CachyOS, it’s been super solid.
I have had a look at CachyOS kernel patches before, I don’t game but seems like they have a good team.
Cachy is fine if you’re like, throwing it on something to use as a TV/console situation for video and gaming, but it’s unstable enough I wouldn’t daily drive it, especially for work. It’s got a million tiny bugs that bubble up constantly at random.
I’m daily driving it and it’s pretty nice. I was on fedora before and mint before that.
