Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).

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.

PopOs! On my work laptop and Nobara on my home desktop.
I have a proxmox server at home running a Kali and Debian distro atm!
Arch BTW
On my laptop I use EndeavourOS with Plasma, and on my Desktop I use Fedora with i3wm. Have switched from windows ~1 year ago and I couldn't be happier, haven't had any issues and my devices now do feel like my devices.
I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.
At the moment I'm dual booting between Endeavor OS and MX, I'm really enjoying them both.
I daily drive Garuda XFCE on my main computer, and have been for a year. Before that it was Manjaro for 2 years. I switched when Windows 10 nuked itself after an update.
On my almost 10 year old laptop I use Arch with Hyprland as my window manager.
My home server is about 6 years old and has been running Debian for 5 of them. I used Manjaro on that for a year before getting rekt by a broken NVIDIA update and went back to Debian. On the plus side, I did learn that Duplicati+Storj is capable of recovering from 100% data loss because I pressed the reset button at the wrong time and broke BTRFS too lol
Arch Linux since 2012 - I even use it at work now.
With all the custom dotfiles, PKGBUILDs and package lists, I couldn't imagine switching to anything else.
I'm currently using Linux Mint on my desktops and Debian for my servers.
I'm using fedora for my main workstation at home. most of my servers are run on almalinux but I do have a few that are ubuntu and proxmox for virtualization. At work we only use and support RHEL.
Manjaro KDE.
Kubuntu mainly and Mint
Recently switched from Gentoo to NixOS. Not really sure if I will not switch back but so far interesting experience. Being able to define your entire system configuration with just a few files is really cool, plus it is really nice for setting up development environments.
On my Laptop I just run arch because I find it easiest, and it is mostly multimedia laptop. Same with my home server (NAS, self-hosted stuff, VR) where I just need rolling distro with good support for gaming.
Manjaro XFCE after switching from Windows about 5 years ago. The first 3 months were rough and now when I have to use Windows I can't believe how badly Microsoft had everyone brainwashed into believing what an OS should be like. It's such a shame that 95% of the population thinks computer == macos || computer == windows
btw I use Arch ;-)
The meme aside. I use Arch, on my laptop, desktop and my home servers. On the few VPS'ses I have running at Scaleway and Hetzner, I use Debian.
I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.
I'm an arch boi through and through
I'm currently running Mint on my Computer and Ubuntu on servers.
Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.
I dualbooted Mint Cinnamon + Fedora and I mainly use Mint. Fedora is mostly used as a Red Hat learning tool. I do all of my everyday stuff inside Mint.
Mint 21.1 Xfce, and if Android counts, ArrowOS 13 (on phone) and BlissOS (on an old computer)
I’ve gone from Pop!_OS to Mint, but I always come back to EndevourOS with KDE. I just can’t quit that distro.
TuxedoOS, Pop!_OS, and Ubuntu (work forces me to use it 😬)
Slackware
I've been using Arch as a daily driver in my main PC. I have other PCs where I tried Manjaro and Arcolinux. I have also made a few VMs with Gentoo, but I don't think I'm ready to daily drive that. And lately I've been looking at Fedora, I would like to try that and see if I install it on a PC.
Fedora, ofc. KDE spin in my case. Stable, up to date, no nonsense and well supported, fits well for both my work and personal needs.
Currently ZorinOS on my Main Machine and Arch on my Notebook, but when i have my new AMD GPU i will use Fedora.
I'm a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I'm used to Windows.
