Hi. I am using macOS. so, what UNIX like OS are you using?
You must log in or # to comment.
My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.
However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.
this advertisement is ok, I’ll check it and see if I can use it with tdsr. if not, I’ll report back with issues that I found.
Same exact story for me (mac and manjaro (btw)). Nice project!
Linux Mint has always been my recommended for beginners to Linux and if I just want something stable and quick to set up.
Arch (usually EndeavourOS) when I want to do fun stuff.
linux mint is not good if you are trying to have new software.
Not true? Obviously rolling releases have newest software but they have their own drawbacks. Debian distros still get normal updates
I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.
My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).
How easy is it to setup nowadays? I tried it 3-4 years ago and it was a pain to set almost anything up, even after learning the NixOS way.
Linux Mint Xfce here - just right for me - not too splashy, not too hard core :-)
Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.
Arch for my main, Debian for my servers and family. I bounced around for a while over the years. At some point in the past I decided I didn’t want to use derivatives and these two fit my needs prefectly.
I want to like macOS but Apple, IMO, is doing scummier and scummier things with it. For instance, I haven’t signed in to iCloud. Once a day it seems, I’ll get a little notice telling me that not all functionality will work until I’ve signed in. Ok… So I click the little ‘X’ on the notification. It opens the settings to the iCloud setup screen. That’s not what ‘X’ is supposed to do!
Fedora.
I’ve also been getting more familiar with CoreOS / SilverBlue recently.
I’ve been using Fedora for a while now. I love it
Run Arch on my main PC. Proxmox on my home server with Ubuntu server as VM and random containers.
It used to be MacOS, but I jumped ship as soon as iOS stuff started creeping in years ago. Because I had already jumped ship from iPhones for the exact same stuff. Arch is my *nix of choice these days, or Linux Mint if I’m recommending it to someone else who doesn’t want to learn Arch.
But with that said, my daily driver is a Windows machine these days. I’m getting lazy as I get older, so (relatively) effortless compatibility is king.
Kubuntu. I like KDE and been using Ubuntu-like OSs since 2007.
Gentoo Linux here. I used Kubuntu for the longest time, but once they started forcing snapd down my throat, I jumped ship.
I was using Pop!_OS for a long time, but finally switched to Fedora and I love it because it feels so up to date.
Arch Linux. Once you get past the intimidating reputation it’s really nice, and the documentation is best in class.
