What Linux Distro(s) do you use?

Post » Sun May 05, 2013 11:39 am

Just wanted to see what distros Linux users here on the forums use. Have used Ubuntu before and I liked it quite a bit (except for Unity but there is always a fix for that).

Ubuntu on my laptop. Mint (with Cinnamon) on my desktop. I prefer Mint. Been wanting to try Arch or Gentoo for awhile but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I did use Gentoo until I stopped using Linux a few years ago (not a deliberate decision, just that my Linux box had hardware problems and I couldn't be bothered to set up my Windows desktop as a dual-boot system) but, though very configurable, it was more effort than I could really be bothered with so I'll likely use something else next time. Which will probably be in the next week or two, coincidentally. In a vaguely related vein, I use FreeBSD on my server which is currently undergoing a hardware upgrade that I've been putting off since approximately forever.

The two I've used most are Mint, followed by Ubuntu. I generally stick with Mint though. About a year ago I did try, and enjoy, CrunchBang.

Currently, I'm using Fedora but may switch soon to Arch or go about rolling my own setup.

I always have Mint and Backtrack available. I would like to try Kali Linux, but I haven't gotten a chance yet. My college forces us to stick to Backtrack 4 for my studies.

Firstly I used Fedora, then Ubuntu, then again Fedora and Now (and forever and ever ) it's Slackware.

Arch on a laptop, Backtrack in a VM, and not exactly Linux but I run my servers on FreeBSD. My Raspberry Pi though runs a modified version of Debian on it.
