No. Debian on the server. CachyOS on the laptop OPNsense / FreeBSD on the router-firewall appliance.

I don't really feel like I need a single OS across everything. The lack of that has never been an issue.

Everything but my server uses Arch (BTW). This is so I can have all devices have the same scripts for uniformity.

Arch for Gaming/Desktop, Debian for Server/Proxmox/VPS.

i have slackware 15 on all, it's great how i can just copy over binaries and they just run because all the linked libraries are the same version

no, i use archlinux on my main desktop as i use it daily and is my main workhorse. i have a laptop that rarely gets used at that has debian on. then i have a mini pc server with debian and a raspberry pi 4 with debian based raspberry pi os.

I used to have Ubuntu everywhere, then changed to Debian for servers. Now that I'm using bazzite for my gaming rig, I really liked the idea and went to fedora silver blue on my work laptop. I'm the near future I want to re do my home lab, bit not sure yet what, unfortunately to many open questions concerning storage left.

Fedora just works for me in every case except NAS where I have TrueNAS, so Fedora it is and I installed it even to couple of people and they also like it.

I typically use EndeavorOS because I enjoy how well documented and organized the arch wiki is.

I tried switching to fedora on my laptop recently but actually had some issues with software that was apparently only distributed through the AUR or AppImage (which I could have used, I know).

When I also had issues setting up my VPN to my home network again, I caved and restored the disk to a backup I took before attempting the switch. The VPN thing almost definitely wasn't Fedoras fault since I remember running into the same issue on EndeavorOS but after my fix from last time didn't work I was out of patience.

My servers runs either on debian or Ubuntu LTS though.

Nah. Debian for servers, Fedora for desktops and Arch for funtimes.

Ubuntu for the main pc and Arch for the filthy weird frankenstein laptop from 2008. Just as god intended.

I use Debian on servers, because stable.

I use Fedora on desktops, because I game and I like having fixes for mesa, the kernel, and amdgpu for my latest gen AMD GPU. My laptop is for work, but it's just easier having consistency.

For me it depends on computer capability. 3 generations of laptop... Current: PopOS Older: MiniOS Oldest (32bit): AntiX

I do - more or less. Since I am the IT guy for my entire family and don't feel like doing tech support on 10 different distros.

All normal PCs run CachyOS, includes gaming PCs, laptops and media PCs. All servers run some form of Debian (includes Proxmox) or a dedicated distro for their use (TRUE WAS, technically also Debian based).

Gentoo, Qubes on desktops. Cent, Gentoo, Alpine and OpenBSD for servers.

Then there's weird stuff like MirageOS, DuskOS, openwrt, opnsense and I'm 90% sure there's a laptop with Kali purple in my trunk.

For other people I usually install fedora spins or bazzite.

1 Fedora (laptop)

1 bazzite (old gaming desktop)

N+1 Debian on everything else than can

laptop & desktop: both fedora silverblue

home server: fedora server

• Servers: Ubuntu Jammy
• NUC: Mint xfce
• VMs: Kali, Mint, and a variety of others including WIndows & Mac.

I hear a lot of chatter about NixOS. Going to have to check it out.

Slackware on desktop, laptop and mini PC, Debian on anything smaller

No, Arch for laptops/desktops. Debian for servers.

I use ArchLinux more or less on all Device where it is possible It runs on my workstations, on my NAS, on my servers

Reason for that is: I am lazy and this way I don't have to learn how to administrate different Distributions.

Almost everything is Debian - my servers, my desktop and laptops, my family member's computers, the living room media player. Only exceptions are my router (OpenWRT) and my Steam Deck (SteamOS).

All my kubernetes nodes are Ubuntu but when I rebuild my cluster I'll probably moved to Talos. My Gaming Rig/Workstation runs Bazzite. My Dev laptop runs Aurora. The little differences between Aurora and Bazzite are a little irritating so if I ever have a reason to rebuild one I'll probably switch it.

The PIs run whatever is most convenient for their purpose.

My next NAS will probably run Unraid or TrueNAS, but for now its Synology.

I use Fedora on my desktop, laptop and server. On my mother‘s laptop I have installed Fedora Kinoite.

Bazzite GNOME on my "it needs to work daily no matter what" school/work/light gaming laptop, ~250ish flatpak apps (mostly very awesome tiny GTK4-based tools)

Devuan on my desktop PC, Trinity Desktop Environment, almost entirely apt apps, I do heavy multimedia work and gaming on it, I squeeze as much speed as I can

Debian on my Linux phone (FuriLabs FLX1s running FuriOS, a fork of Droidian, which is a fork of Mobian, which is a fork of Debian), Phosh UI, almost entirely ~140ish flatpaks

I try to keep my operating systems and software as controlled and predictable as possible, but I approach that differently depending on the usecase. Yes, I've tried NixOS, fell in love with it, and quickly realized it's overengineered and makes my head hurt. I also used CachyOS with TDE on my desktop for a while, was really speedy but TDE packaging for Arch really sucks compared to their Debian packaging

Kind of.

Fedora on workstations. Debian on servers

I didn't use to, but I do now. Debian on everything (except the Proxmox servers, but Proxmox is basically Debian too)

No, I've got nobara on my gaming rig, batocera on my wife's retro console that's just turned into a kodi device, and proxmox on my server

Work notebook runs Linux Mint

My private desktop PC runs Cachy OS with Wayland/KDE but Wayland crashes all the time, so my private notebook bot Cachy OS with Gnome. Love it. Now I need to reinstall my desktop to also install Gnome. Dont want the hazzle to install it Next to wayland

I use the following

Debian for Laptop Bazzite for Gaming PC HatvesterHCI for Hypervisor Truenas Scale for NAS (VM with disk pass thru) Rocky Linux for Servers (I have created Hardened Images) I use OS-build to create the Rocky Images

Ha, I wish I could.

I'm not 100% satisfied, so I'm still searching for the "perfect distro for me", if it even exists.

I have been using Arch Linux on my personal PC and company laptop for 4 years, but I couldn't get some things to work. Things that, after installing Fedora, worked out of the box.

My current setup is:

• EndeavourOS (e.g. arch linux with a GUI-installer) for my PC at home
• Fedora Workstation 43 for my company laptop
• Servers are all running Debian, I'll probably never change that
• Hypervisor for VMs is Proxmox VE, which is Debian too

Fedora on laptop. Fedora on desktop. Fedora in the server. Fedora in WSL.

Workstation: Fedora plasma Server: Ubuntu Rock64 Libreelec

My server is Debian. My desktop and laptops are all Garuda Linux.

Thanks to hyprland, I've fallen in love with Arch. Sure it works on other distros, but the AUR is great for easy configuration. I'm running it on my container server, my laptop, my gaming rig, and my OneXPlayer(portable gaming rig). That said, I have been eyeing CachyOS because of the kernel optimization plus it seems easier to install.
