Which Linux Distribution? - Ram - Jan 8, 2019

I am wondering on which Linux Distribution do you use and why do you use that specific distribution. Post your discussion and examples here.

I probably work with Fedora the most, but other than that I work with *BSD mainly. GhostBSD because of a graphical interface, and OpenBSD due to its nature.

I use ubuntu as my fav, but sometimes have a need for other linux distributions.

Arch, because I like setting my own shit up how I like.

Ubuntu, no need to make it harder for yourself. It's very stable and it works. I'd rather spend more time on getting shit done than debugging system bugs.

Arch is great for getting your feet wet and you learn a lot more than you do with Ubuntu. For servers it's always between Arch, Debian and FreeBSD for me. Some software just isn't on BSD although FreeBSD has the best networking stack. Debian is also very stable and I used it for many years during school through to college. Arch is my preference although I don't recommend it for servers, I do personally. I've had no problems with arch servers, it's usually user error when arch or freebsd complains.

I'm new to Linux. A few days ago I had enough of Windows and said screw it and wiped my drive and installed Ubuntu 18.04. So far I'm liking it and it's not too bad to learn starting off.

I chose Ubuntu 18.04 because it's the most recent stable I believe.

RE: Which Linux Distribution? - Mikutype - Jan 11, 2019

Debian, ubuntu (I prefer debian really), devuan (debian is easier but devuan is very good imo).
Arch only tinkering to learn linux ( I like that)

DEbians are good for servers right?

They are everywhere. Will depend of what you consider to be good.

I just heard some people prefer it more over other.

This question for the poll is too vague to have substantial results. I use CentOS for servers. But I use whatever is piled with Gnome 3 for a personal desktop. Ubuntu if I'm in a don't give a fuck mood and just want stuff to work. :D Or Manjaro or Arch if I'm feeling edgy.
