Ubuntu on my laptop, Mint on my desktop.

 

... R.I.P Unity desktop btw.

Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon as a secondary OS. It's by far my favourite distro, mainly because it feels very familiar (thanks, Windows ).

[MrImnotMLG]

I've started to use Ubuntu on my laptop now.

It works great for me, never had any issues with it except for ones I caused. I've probably been using it for almost a year now.

[SilicateWielder]

I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Wild Penquin]

Manjaro (on my laptop) and Arch Linux on my Desktop.

 

In my experience Manjaro is a bit too buggy for what it should be. Not too active a community forum, too.

Well, I need to say something in Manjaros defence: one size does not fit all...

 

I mean it is not a bad distribution. But I like Arch on my desktop, which is mostly a toy / not for serious activities. I don't mind if it breaks ;-). I presumed that Manjaro, being promoted as user-friendly, would not break that easily, so that I do not need to fix it on my Laptop, which is a bit more critical (I use it for work, and on the go, for more critical stuff). So I wanted to try it (I really like pacman, but there seem to be few user-friendly distributions that use pacman).

 

User friendly in my opinion means: it should work OOTB and break seldom if ever. But it seems I am beta testing a lot of the time. At least Kernel updates are not as frequent, but other stuff is being beta tested on the users.

 

So either my presumption about Manjaro was wrong, or they don't know which direction to take the distribution into, or they are still looking for their place on the distribution map =) But this can be critical for a distribution: if it does not gain enough user base, it will mean a dwindling community, and possibly mean the distribution will never properly "take off"...

[Kyle The Engineer]

I use Linux Mint And Lubuntu

[SCHISCHKA]

Hannah Montana Linux

Ubuntu Unity 16.10 on my desktop (not booting atm in progress of fixing) Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 and Fedora 25 Gnome on One laptop and Elementary OS (latest release) on my other one.  I also have a openSuse VM on my desktop install as well.
