Arch Linux. Always very up-to-date and the AUR is huge. No dealing with PPAs or snaps or flatpaks or appimages. Just paru -S any-software-ever-made. Also very streamlined (systemd for everything lol) and well documented. I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren’t good at Haskell. Terrible documentation.

For servers it’s definitely Debian + docker.

Debian. Several reasons:

• It’s trustworthy.
• It’s not going anywhere. Debian existed when I was a kid and it’ll probably still exist when I draw my last breath.
• I know how to use it, since, once again, I’ve been using it since I was a kid.
• It has all the desktop environments.
• It fully supports systemd. I do not miss the unreliability, slowness, and complexity of what came before that. (Normally I wouldn’t mention this, but your former distro of choice exists solely for the purpose of not having systemd, so it’s relevant this time.)

I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS…

NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)

arch

Linux Mint with Mate DE.

I use opensuse with kde and I love it. Have been using it for 2 years now.

For server use at home I use Ubuntu Server and Alma Linux (mostly)

At work it is all RedHat.

I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:

Arch Linux everywhere. I’m curious about NixOS but I don’t have the time to tinker anymore.

Fedora on the desktop. I got my start on Red Hat Linux so I’ve stuck with it since.

For servers I use Debian. Lightweight, widely used, and gets the job done.

Arch on everything, including servers. It’s just so easy to install everything via the AUR & configure everything easily. Plus the wiki is amazing. Although it is a pain to setup sometimes

I’m currently using a mix of Arch and Fedora, but I’ve been starting to look in to NixOS.

I’ve been a daily fedora user for the half year. Initially I started off with ElementaryOS but it was so filled with bugs, and glitches, so it didnt last for more than a couple of months. While the fedora experience is way more streamlined.

Using Arch everywhere (home, work, laptop). It’s boring, but it just works.
