As a long time user of Arch Linux, my favorite distro is... Slackware. Never used it, but it holds a special place in my heart.
It's like that place you always wanted to visit, or that crazily difficult book everyone praises to the sky.

I have been using Debian Testing for six years now, and I have no complaints.
Mint - it was my first one, and the one I come back to, having tried Manjaro (ooops), Endeavour, Fedora, MX, Garuda, Nobaro and probably a f ew more.
Yes packages are not bleeding edge, but flatpaks are good for me if I want newer versions. I don't want to spend time restoring backups in the event of an Arch based release going wrong (happened to me on Manj and Endeavour - yes it can be recovered but its a waste of time).
Ubuntu also for sever and I like to mess around with Kali for fun
do you like haching on Kali well washy and george are around?
They help me with it! But only pen testing
I don't like Linux distributions in general and for the specific reasons. So, there is no my favorite. But I prefer common wide accepted original distributions and not slightly customized derivatives.
Ubuntu and debian based distros have been a long time favorite. Recently switched to Fedora and the Cinnamon desktop. It has a nice feel and user experience as well.
What is difficult now is the base OS to choose, but also the desktop experience. I think the desktop choice is also what makes the Linux experience and distro choice for people these days.
