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.

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.

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.
After using different distros for more than 10 years, I reached a never imagined level of not caring anymore. Nowadays, I use any of them, and it's fine. I don't even care to change the wallpaper or tweak most settings anymore.
For the record, I'm using fedora on my main rig, mx linux on my low-end laptop, and armbian on my orange pi board.
@owatnext At the moment Ubuntu 23.04. But I am planning to hop to Linux Mint or Fedora in order to check them.
Right now I am using Gentoo on my gaming rig. On my laptop I use Arch. Debian on everything else.

PopOs! On my work laptop and Nobara on my home desktop.
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).
I used to use Arch but recently switched to Fedora. I need stability now.
Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.
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.
- Arch Linux (current)
- NixOS
- Fedora
- Ubuntu
- Gentoo
- Red Hat (first)
Switched often over the last 20 years. Considering Fedora Silverblue.
Choice can be one of the huge strong suits and weak points of Linux. I know over the last 30 years I've switched distros a lot. My first was a two floppy slack distro. One for boot and one for root. There was no pretty X server on top of it lol.
These days for my personal systems I definitely like the rolling releases. Currently have endeavor OS on a few systems. But I still have debian Ubuntu or Fedora running on certain systems for specific tasks. They aren't always the most up-to-date. But they are some of the more stable and secure. And when you're serving that's typically what you want.

Fedora because it just works
I'm using Fedora - was using Arch for a while, but realized I didn't want to put in the work to keep up with/migrate to the newest tech (Wayland, Pipewire) but I also didn't want to fall behind. Fedora has been great at integrating new tech without me needing to pay close attention or migrate to it myself.
I use Debian for my docker servers. I try to use it on the desktop. Was using pop-os, games kept crashing, replace with arch? Archinstall wouldn’t work. Back to windows I guess. Maybe I should try Debian on the desktop since it’s the only one I ever get working properly.
I’ve gone from Pop!_OS to Mint, but I always come back to EndevourOS with KDE. I just can’t quit that distro.
Arch with Cinnamon DE and I use flatpak and not the AUR.
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.
Void for me too. Started my Linux journey a couple of years ago with popos, Debian and finally settled on void, because it's an independent distro.
Kubuntu 23.04. Eventually going to try Mint, see if it's more stable on my machine, but there isn't time just now.
I use Debian for my personal servers and the server I run at my LLC. At my day job we use RHEL.
Whatever my Steam Deck runs (steamos I think?), fedora 38 kde on my laptop (although I don't use my laptop much), truenas scale for my NAS, proxmox (Debian) for my hypervisor and regular Debian for my vms.
Been using nobara with kde for the last 2-3 months
I'm currently using Linux Mint on my desktops and Debian for my servers.
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.
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.
I'm an arch boi through and through
Fedora on my personal lenovo laptop, „It just works“
I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.
I'm a basic bitch. Ubuntu LTS. Just works, no hassle, lots of support.
