I’ve been a Linux user for about a decade and a half, most of that time I’ve been using OpenSUSE, but recently I’ve been hopping again.

For my main machine, I needed a distro that natively runs and installs .deb packages at root for the program used for my language lessons (fcitx5 nor ibus played well with sandboxes) so I’ve landed on Kubuntu for that machine.

But I’m really intrigued by the setup of VanillaOS, apx seems like such a perfect solution in many ways to my needs, but I don’t have as much experience with immutable distros.

Lastly I’m fascinated with NixOS, and really want to get into it, but life is just so busy that I don’t have the energy to devote to learning it.

So, what about you folks?

    I’ve been mainly using Gentoo with i3 and I’ve been having a lot of fun. I’ve also used Arch for about 2 years. NixOS is very interesting and I’d be curious to try it too maybe in the future. I used to use Gnome but I have fallen for WMs especially i3. I tried dwm and while I do like it, I just like i3 a bit more.
