I wanted to make this as a poll but I couldn't figure out how. Figured I would still ask anyway. (if anyone knows how I can edit this to be an actual poll that would be awesome)

  • Fedora (any spin) /CentOS
  • openSUSE Leap/Tumbleweed
  • Ubuntu (any flavor)
  • Debian
  • elementaryOS
  • Manjaro/Arch
  • Linux Mint
  • MX Linux
  • Gentoo
  • slackware
  • any form of BSD
  • any other Ubuntu derivative (I.e. Pop! OS, etc)
  • other

Personally it would be either Ubuntu Budgie or (assuming budgie doesn't exist because solus doesn't) Fedora

    I had been using Ubuntu for many years before Solus, but honestly I was getting pretty annoyed with it towards the end. I had already done a full run-through of LFS one time, so I think I would probably have ended up making my own distro. If I had to go it alone, it would probably end up something closer to Slackware or Gentoo. But thankfully, I have many people who help everyday to work on the parts of Solus that I don't have the time or the knowledge to. Together we have been able to build something that I could have only dreamed of doing on my own.

    I would have probably stayed with Manjaro. Linux Mint would be a good option too.

    It would probably have been Manjaro, as I migrated away from Arch because of problems I had setting it up.

    Devuan and I3 or slackware and fvwm

    In addition to Solus, I also run Debian Stable and Debian Unstable, all with the Openbox window manager and the Tint2 panel.

    I would be somewhere in Arch, but probably not on Arch itself. I'm liking Arcolinux at the moment.

    Probably Manjaro. I play a lot of games o my PC and i use a Vega 64 so having an up to date kernel, Mesa and its dependencies is the way to go.

    But I prefer Solus's more curated rolling release model. On the edge but not the bleeding edge.

      So far I using Solus is the longest ever. if not solus maybe I would try Elementary OS or back to Winwow01 🙂

      Bunsenlabs
      Crunchbangplusplus
      Archbang
      Clearlinux

      Archlabs is what I was running prior to Solus. I would go back to an Arch variant.

      I shudder to think what other distro I'd be using if not Solus 😛

      But if I had to, I'd probably be using Fedora or KDE Neon or attempt my hand at Arch. For the record though, none of these distros offer the same stability that Solus has, so thankfully I can compute in peace.

      I have openSUSE installed in parallel, mainly because of CUDA support.
