I occasionally see love for niche small distros, instead of the major ones…

And it just seems to me like there’s more hurdles than help when it comes to adopting an OS whose users number in the hundreds or dozens. I can understand trying one for fun in a VM, but I prefer sticking to the bigger distros for my daily drivers since the they’ll support more software and not be reliant on upstream sources, and any bugs or other issues are more likely to be documented abd have workarounds/fixes.

So: What distro do you daily drive and why? What drove you to choose it?

    Weird someone has a similar setup to mine, its almost exactly the same (one nvidia one amd? Cause that’d be scary).

    Feel like its overkill for most folks though lmao

      All AMD, RX 570 and Vega 64.

      It’s not that rare, I know someone on IRC that’s also doing something similar. I stole the kubevirt idea from him.

      I originally built that box to be a VM powerhouse for development, and VFIO was an explicit feature I wanted, that was right before Proton became good and made it unnecessary.
