If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?
Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less “Canonical”-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).
Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people’s experiences, there are no wrong answers.
33 years with Linux (kernel 1.2.13, slackware). Worked at a distro. Worked in OS security – Unix and enterprise Linux. I helped build United Linux out of the dismembered corpse suse kicked over the fence as ‘collaboration’.
Because of the validation issue in the .deb package format and others, I’m on a mixture of Rocky and Nobara.
I’m subscribed to cloudLinux’s tuxcare enterprise updates for some older stuff, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s excellent; and if almalinux releases their sLTS distro release and actually covers it for 25 years, that will be such a coup.
I’m worried at the direction Linux has been taken by IBM and I hope it can be unfucked one day. I miss the reliable, fast boots and uncomplicated tooling before this systemd shitshow.
