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.)

Fedora, because it just works and it ships recent software versions.

I also like Fedora Silverblue, and projects like ublue are very interesting in my opinion.

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

arch

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

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 Arch Linux with KDE Plasma myself

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

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

I used to use Void as my main distro, but then the developer drama made me shy away from it (keep in mind, this was like forever ago and I haven’t looked at Void at all since). After that I floated around trying everything, from Gentoo to the BSDs (I know, not Linux). Nowadays I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I got tired of doing everything manually and OpenSUSE just makes everything so much easier to use, IMO.

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.

Been using NixOS for a couple months. It’s gotten easier to configure and change because of it, and new computers are super easy to setup because I can just change/apply the config and system wide changes will apply with one command!
