What is your go-to Linux distro and why? - eviltoast

I’d like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).

I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along… I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it’s holding me back a bit.

What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

    Fedora because it’s robust, stable, mature and has a fairly up-to-date package repository. Plus, it has spins (ISO flavours) with different DEs/WMs installed, including i3 and even Sway!

    If you want a Linux distro that just works and gets out of the way, Fedora is for you. I’ve been using it for years now and see no reason to switch.

      Same here, Tried about 10 distros and always end back with Fedora.

      Been using it full time on my 2 desktops, and 2 laptops for 2 years now without ever thinking about trying another distro.

      I think I enjoy using Manjaro more than Fedora but I always end up back on Fedora because it just works correctly all the time
