    1. This is my linux. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    2. My linux is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

    3. My linux, without me, is useless. Without my linux, I am useless. I must boot my linux true. I must boot faster than windows who is trying to be buggy. I must boot him before it boots. I will …

    4. My linux and myself know that what counts in this world is not the times we boot, the noise of our bootsounds, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the linux computer that count. We will install….

    5. My linux is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its repos and its flatpaks. I will ever guard it against the ravages of non updating as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my linux clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ….

    6. Before God(s)(?), I swear this creed. My linux and myself are the defenders of my convictions. We are the masters of our computers. We are the saviors of my digital life.

    7. So be it, until linux is the world’s most used OS and there is no walled gardens, but only peace!!

    I use Arch, btw, but I don’t consider it the best (yes I do.) I could easily transition to Fedora, for example (I would never do that,) and be completely happy (I would rather continually hit my head with the metal stapler gun on my desk.)

    NixOS. My entire config is source-controlled and I can easily roll back to a previous boot image if something breaks like cough Nvidia drivers. I also use it for my home router and all self-hosted services.

      It would be awesome if it came with a KDE desktop environment.

      If ZorinOS shipped without the Snaps, it might become my go-to, even though it’s Gnome. They did a wonderful job of customizing it with extensions to make it more like a classic desktop experience.

    This week alone I’ve used Arch, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, and Fedora. Its Arch. By a short way, and mostly thanks to the wiki. Tbh they are all converging, and I go with KDE variants when I use a GUI and no distro does too much to customise it

    CachyOS with NiriWM. Cachy is Arch with none of the install drama. The performance tuning makes it blazing fast on older hardware. Installs with no bloat.

    Niri is superior to Hyprland in my opinion because it’s a scrolling tiling WM that is super intuitive and fast.

    For server workloads, however, not much beats pure Debian. It’s stable, well supported, and has a huge package library.

      I run CachyOS on my PC and Debian (12/13) on my servers. Everything you say is dead on.

      Perfect set up for me.

    I do not consider Arch the best. Artix is better because is is systemd-free. I have not switched yet.

    I’ve been enjoying EndeavourOS over the past three years. It works wonderfully out of the box at default settings, and was really easy for me to use and set up to my liking with minimal know-how needed.

    It also works really well on the variety of machines I have in my home. My desktop, modded Chromebook, and my husband’s laptop.

    It’s allowed me to get more familiar and confident with the command line, and enough so that I’ve switched to Sway from XFCE (and previously KDE).
