Wondering if you have an actual purpose for these or just “mess around” with them?

Arch Linux for life always. Desktop OS all the way. For ServerOS I use Redhat.

I started out with Ubuntu, way back on 7.04, and my home server is running 14.04 today.
For desktop use, I’ve tried a bit of everything: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, #!, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Peppermint, Ubuntu Studio, Edubuntu, Arch, OpenSuse, Gentoo, Sabayon, Fedora, CentOS, Manadriva, Puppy, DSL, and even LFS.

I’m pretty firmly rooted in one of three camps depending on who is using the machine, and what they’re using it for.

  • Mint for the easiest, most user friendly setup.
  • #! for users interested in learning more about how linux works, or machines with low system specs.
  • Arch for any application where I want fine tuned control, or when I’m teaching someone more low-level concepts of linux and/or general OS structure.

I don’t see Windows 2000, and Windows ME in that pic. :smile:

Ubuntu with numix theme :smile:.

I generally use the various flavours of Ubuntu, but given that I keep hearing about how great Arch is, I’ll be trying that out once I acquire my new laptop.

56

I’m a Debian-user.
At least for server stuff.
I have Ubuntu on my laptop (And Windows).

57

Windows 7 (10 FTW!) but comfortable with Ubuntu,
Using it on a VPS.

Ubuntu before and CentOS now for serving minecraft and Arch before and Manjaro now for personal use.

My main machine runs Windows 8 (Update 1). Switching to some Linux distro, probably something that runs an easy to use desktop. Unity and Gnome 3 just does a terrible job for multitasking in my case, if not satisfied I can just install another desktop software.
The thing I am worried about is hardware compatibility, I had a hard time running Ubuntu on a partition, installing the drivers. Most painful thing is installing the wifi driver, might go use Ubuntu just because of that.

On my second machine, I run Ubuntu and manually installed XFCE and I am liking it, hardware support is amazing with it.

On my two laptop I just use plain Ubuntu, might replace them with another OS or just install XFCE, the hardware support is also great, ran Minecraft faster than on Windows, much faster than Windows.

Linux beats Windows in almost everything. Linus Torvalds deserves a cookie :cookie: (why do people say this, he deserves more than this… Lollipop maybe? :lollipop:)

Edit 1: I meant XFCE, not LXDE.

Yep, thats its main purpose. And pentesting!
