@ekZepp For me, it's Debian. It always just works.
Unless you need nvidia drivers from this century
Fuck nvidia
Amen
That's okay. Thanks to their insane pricing caused by covid, followed by more insane pricing caused by the AI bubble, many people are still running cards not getting any new drivers anyway.
Don't forget NFTs!
1080ti still works great
I daily drive LMDE with a 4070ti super, works perfect. I do use the proprietary drivers but I hardly ever have issues.
For me itβs Mint Debian Edition.
@teft Yeah, I've been tempted to take a look at Mint DE. If I ever try another distro on something I will def check that out.
Itβs great, well worth a try. Stable, functional and compatible, just how I like it.
i might try various other distros for my desktop usage. But for my home server it will always be Debian. Rock solid.
Same. EndeavourOs on the desktop but the rest of the Homeland is Debian.
Same. It's like coming home.
Switched my gaming PC over to Arch a little while back but the server's always going to be Debian.
I changed one of my PCs over to Debian this month, and I was surprised at how smooth it is. I guess I was expecting it to be way more barebones. I don't know if I need more than this!
I've been running sid on my personal laptops for more than a decade. Can't imagine doing anything else
I run Debian, super happy with it (also have tried Ubuntu and Steam OS/Arch, liking both). As a noob, what would/could I expect gain by distro hopping?
If you are happy with Debian, I'd say stay with it. I have tried many distros but I like Debian and return to it for most of my devices. Sometimes Debian will have older versions of software if you use stable, I don't really mind personally
Thats what LMDE is for, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Been my daily driver for years. Otherwise I use vanilla Debian for all my server and headless stuff.
I use arch btw
Arch is on my gaming pc and is alot of fun, but I must admit my old reliable is straight Debian, after hopping through a couple of Debian based distros, I tried straight deb and agree it just works. So it's installed on anything I don't wanna tinker with
@ForgottenUsername I "use arch btw"
