I wanna meet more Linux nerds. Whether you've just installed Mint for the first time, or are the sysadmin using CRUX, say hi!

Linux nerd reporting. Been using it on and off since around 1999.
Longer than I've been alive! What do you run?
Right now I’m running Ubuntu with Sway.
Great choice! Though, Sway personally gives me headaches. I dualboot Void and Arch with XMonad/Niri (respective) myself
Sway hasn’t been bad for me. It’s basically i3s Wayland twin. I really like hyprland, but it moves to fast for me, I don’t have the patience for breaking changes I used to have.
I hear that often, however I never really used i3. My go-to Xorg WM was always XMonad because Haskell interested me greatly. Only really started to adopt Wayland environments 2-3 years ago when I first fiddled around with Hyprland, NEWM, River, and Wayfire, before settling with Niri
Niri is new to me, that looks interesting.
i swear by arch/hyprland
How's that been going with the recent attacks on the AUR? A buddy of mine lost his shit over it lol.
Hyprland is great, been using it more often recently
well i wouldnt really know cause i broke my screen two weeks ago and have just yesterday ordered a new one. but yeah this is some bullshit. maybe itll force people to run mirrors and the community will end up even tougher but it doesnt really matter. the aur is great but i would still run arch without it.
Awh nightmare! Hope it arrives soon so you can see the fun for yourself 🤣
Always the option to build from source, which i've noticed people are realizing thanks to the attack. A few of my friends who are newer to Linux didn't really know how, now they do haha
