Ubuntu. It's working and I don't have the time to try out other distros.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

After using NixOS, I don’t think I could go back to a regular distro. At the very least, maybe debian with the nix package manager
Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven't found a reason to leave yet.
Endeavouros on Laptop and main PC. Loving it.
I'm using Mint, but I've avoided using flatpaks (generally downloading DEB packages directly, or adding ppa sources). It's worked pretty well so far.
I do have a handful of AppImages, but they're a bit easier to work with.
I drive a 2006 Subaru forester
Arch on my "desktop PC", Armbian on my rpi 4, Dietpi soon (tm) on my Orange pi zero 3.
I was using Fedora for about a year and it was great. Nice and stable, almost everything worked out of the box. Then I goofed up an update and had to install something new, and I chose Arch. Arch is working mostly fine, of course I had to learn a thing or two about how some subsystems worked but the Arch wiki is a wonderful resource. We’ll see how long this install lasts, it’s been smooth sailing for about a month now.
When it comes to distros, I am a boring man with a boring POV: I just want the thing to work with as little fuss as possible. Consequently, I'm on Kubuntu. KDE is rock solid, and Ubuntu is what I'm used to.
If/when my OS ever breaks down hard enough to reinstall, I'll probably install Fedora Workstation.
NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.
I've been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it released and so far am very happy with it.
Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop since 2020.
After years of Manjaro (and I still use it on most of my computers), I'm trying out Nobara KDE to see how it keeps up for gaming. It has a number of optimizations that Glorious Eggroll has compiled and seems pretty fast compared to Manjaro on the same hardware. I imagine I could do all the changes on Manjaro, but I also wanted to see how Fedora runs these days, it's been a long time since I used it on the daily.
So far, so good.
Mint, mint and mint (laptop, pc, server), just because I'm a lazy bum.
I mean everything is working so... (I'm not a *nix nerd so I just don't understand flatpak pacman etc.)
Cheers !
Acura MDX
void linux (glibc) + swayfx + waybar + foot terminal + nushell
Nobara these days. It's based on Fedora 38.
Fedora immutable (ublue kinoite) has been so bulletproof. Moved from Arch, which is now on distrobox, so painless. Now ~ 1 year... 2 laptops + desktop, other is destined for NixOS...
I've been using Mint Cinnamon for a while now. It runs beautifully with fewer firmware issues than Ubuntu on my XPS. Even though it shipped with Ubuntu.
Pretty happy with Debian Testing. Frequent updates but still very stable and rock solid.
Debian testing. Seriously. That is reasonably easy to install and configure unlike Arch or Gentoo, but doesn't come with "user friendly" corporate crap like Ubuntu and its derivatives.
Arch + gnome but it doesn't matter at this point
I daily drive Fedora because RHEL is what my industry uses and it's good to stay on top of the technology.
Desktop: Arch KDE Laptop: MX Linux KDE
Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.
Can't say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I've gotten to the point where I don't care about being a purist, don't care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.
Fedora. I've been looking into fedora silverblue and vanilla os as well but I'm chilling with regular fedora for now
Arch + XFCE on my desktop. Have been for a while now, and everytime i try something else, I always come back to it. For my laptop, I've been using Gnome + extensions (Arch as well. That way I don't gotta switch gears and remember two different sets of commands) before i had to take it in for repairs. Was pretty good because of the mousepad gestures IMO.
Debian for a while, now Mint (I'm a Cinnamon freak)
If you want the cool new thing, it's Nix
I tried nix actually. Personally, I think it would make a great server os, but I do not enjoy it as a daily driver. I didn't like the fact that I was forced to install everything through nix and couldn't compile software from source.
