Linux

Alpine is honestly my go to

I've felt in love woth Debian the moment I used it for the first time

Using Garuda (basically just Arch with some bloat) because I'm 1) too lazy to install Arch myself and 2) on an Nvidia card and Wayland WMs still seem buggy for me. Once (if ever) Wayland is stable on Nvidia I'll probably look for an alternative

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.

openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.

OpenSUSE, Tumbleweed on workstations (KDE) and Leap on my server.

Slackware

Manjaro for the best 🥰

Manjaro. I am a guy of habits, so I never really distro-hopped, I once tried to install Arch and failed to configure everything so I tried endeavour and failed too (which would mean I am not a tech guy either ;). Ultimately, I'd say that the distribution does not matters much once you are used to it, you can always get what you want from any of them. The only thing I really like in comparison with others is pacman :)

I use Manjaro, but I run it like vanilla Arch (for example pacman/yay and not pamac). I find this to be a sweet spot for me - rolling releases are so incredibly nice, and Manjaro being slightly slower than Arch is good from a stability standpoint in my experience.

I use ZFS all over the place, including the root storage pool on my home server, which has overall been a great experience with systemd-boot.

KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.

For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents' house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.

Been using PopOS for my living room AMD GPU pc, and it’s been the most seamless steam machine experience I’ve had so far. Tried multiple distros on my Nvidia one, and I just had no luck, I’ll move my Nvidia pc into Linux soon for another attempt.

Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.

NixOS on everything but my Steam Deck which is running SteamOS.

Arch with Cinnamon DE and I use flatpak and not the AUR.

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

Currently ZorinOS on my Main Machine and Arch on my Notebook, but when i have my new AMD GPU i will use Fedora.

I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland on my laptop but I am considering trying VanillaOS (once they move to Debian base). On desktop I have Ubuntu 20.04 and EndeavourOS (both on Gnome)

Debian 12 for now is a great investment for the next 5 years, tho.

Moved from Arch to Nix and loving it!

Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯

Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.

I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself

Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.

I use Pop OS! on my daily computer and laptop and Ubuntu on my home server

Been switching between Arch and Linux Mint for a while now. I run Arch and EndeavourOS on my laptops (Arch on my daily 2-in-1, Endeavour on my TV laptop) but I can't decide which is better for VR on my main rig... probably because VR on Linux is kinda in a pathetic state anyway lol. Next week I'm getting a second GPU for simple display-out so I can use my 6800XT to run VR in a Windows VM, probably on Arch

Edit: landed on EndeavourOS, basically just Arch with a GUI installer, DE by default, and some other tweaks. It's what I kept turning Arch into pretty much lol

Fedora. Used to use Arch but it broke and I moved to Fedora, it's a way more polished experience. I like how Fedora is stable but not "stale" like Debian. Want to try Fedora Silverblue as well.

Xubuntu for over ten years now. It was the first thing I landed on when in a panic that my store-bought, WinXP -preinstalled PC was failing and I couldn't afford to be without it nor replace it. Even after being so grateful for it rescuing me, it's also taught me, and worked flawlessly for all I need from my computers since.

I'm currently running Mint on my Computer and Ubuntu on servers.

I use Linux Mint XFCE on my laptop and desktop. And the standard Steam OS on my Steam Deck.

Linux Mint for desktops/laptops (Cinnamon if the hardware can handle it, MATE if it's a bit long in the tooth), and Debian for servers.

I've used several distros (yes, even Arch btw) through the years but I just keep finding myself coming back to the Debian-based ones. I guess I just feel most at-home with the way it has things set up, or something.

Mint with Cinnamon is my daily driver on my desktop and laptop for almost 3 years now. I ran a company for a while using Linux and managed to find everything I needed for software to run administration. It was great. I still have a windows tablet for troubleshooting and equipment specific requests, but I always feel weird logging into it.

I've used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I've therefore just stuck with it. I don't always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)
