Whilst it's not been forever regarding how long I've been using #Linux, I've used #Debian for more than 10 years now, perhaps as many as 15.
So, my answer is simple. #Debian
I always prefer to run #Stable releases, so I am presently on #Bookworm and will in-line upgrade to #Trixie when 13.1 is released, just as I've done for perhaps the last 3 or 4 major releases.
I thought it is an effort that is supported by EU politicians and/or staff but not officially recognized as the one true EU solution yet.
I love #Redhat but I wonder as well whether #suse or #kde's own distro wouldn't be the better choice. They might still end up using Fedora for the time being as there are some situations in which higher quality might be more important than local development.
My laptop is from 2013. It was OK back then. It's now running #Debian and works fine. It got an SSD a few years ago and a new battery last year.
It does all the things I need a laptop for and would be good enough for 99% of consumers.
Most people could greatly benefit in many ways from #Linux. What's a good way to get people to try Linux? Genuine question.
Linux or Landfill? End of Windows 10 Leaves PC Charities with Tough Choice
Many donateable PCs can’t run Windows 11. Should non-profits still be giving them away? Should they install Linux instead?Avram Piltch (Tom's Hardware)
Debian -- The Universal Operating System

!Friendica Support Trying to install #Friendica on #Debian, using instructions at https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/develop/doc/Install.md
Can't seem to satisfy some of the PHP library requirements, namely IntlChar, IDN, OpenSSL. I read somewhere that installing openssl covers PHP libraries for same. Is this true? What about IntlChar and OpenSSL? Does php-intl cover IntlChar?
#pine64 #pinenote recovery and flashing tutorial:
Hello and welcome to possibly the last of my PineNote tutorials, this is a continuation of the RockUSB video where I'll show you how to recover/flash your PineNote. This video doesn't really go into the batch 1 PineNote (since I don't have one), but the same instructions should apply.

Full #pine64 #pinenote software demonstration, reading ebooks, taking notes and the tailored Gnome experience.
This video is to help users wondering if they should buy one, if it will suit their needs. Note, the PineNote is still a developers/tinkerers device, so you will still need enough knowledge to recover the device if something goes wrong.

And it have been rock solid for anything i throw at it. Ofcourse only buying hardware supported by the linux kernel, helps a whole lot.
#debian : old software. Everytime I got a problem with it, the internet said: this got fixed 2 years ago, wait a bit longer and you get the update.
#arch : Awesome, but pacman is on another level. I barely can remember the flags I need.
#GarudaLinux Drag0nized : looks really good, but it's just not for me. Would recommend trying it for people, who put more RGB in their case than my GPU got CUDA Cores. But still, it looks very clean.
It's 2024, and I use my Linux Mint laptop day after day, week after week, month after month without a bug or care. It "just works" for me. This "boringness" is something I deeply appreciate.
For the longest time before this final-feeling long-awaited "made it" state (on my laptop), there was always some irritation, some compromise, some papercut that would spur me to distro-hop every 9-ish months or so.
Now I don't _really_ care what a distro is, as I finally feel settled. Laptop? Linux Mint. Raspberry Pi? Raspberry Pi OS. And a VPS in the cloud? Debian.
That was yesterday. After using #Linux for more than a decade on smaller servers for home projects like DNS, Radius, a Wiki and more, I decided to go for #Debian on my brand new laptop.
Installation went smoothly and was completed in less than 20 minutes, with all hardware working immediately.
There is so much to like that it would not fit into a reasonable number of posts 😇
From the speed to the desktop environment, the available applications and easy to use customization options.
