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.

Manjaro KDE.
Is used to use Pop OS but decided to switch to Arch after getting a new pc.
Mint (previously fedora), I just want a good UI that I can customize more than gnome-shell
Slackware
I am Debian user as of now. Normally I either use Debian-based distros or Fedora.
I've really been enjoying CachyOS on the desktop, seems it's got the performance tweaks for gaming but without the bloat like in Garuda. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome for the laptop. I thought I didn't like Gnome but it's a breeze with a trackpad
Fedora Silverblue (I made the final switch from Tumbleweed when I discovered that flatpak mpv also has vaapi and the steam and lutris flatpaks work flawlessly)
openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.
Mint 21.1 Xfce, and if Android counts, ArrowOS 13 (on phone) and BlissOS (on an old computer)
I use KDE Neon. I was and still am a big fan of arch, and while I appreciate the philosophy behind it, I just didn't feel like setting it all up this time around, KDE Neon had the software I was looking for and just got out of my way (outside of needing to deal with NVidia drivers, which seems like a pain wherever I go, I eternally hope for improvements from Nvidia)

After hopping around from PopOs, Debian, and EndeavourOS, I've been settled on Opensuse tumbleweed for a couple years. Have no desire to change because it does everything I want and YAST is awesome.
Switched from Windows to Fedora Workstation some months ago and really happy with it workflow and feeling.
Been using ubuntu for quite sometime now it just works for me. Not much setup needed and currently has most of the support of my favorite programs.
I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.
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.
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.
Debian on all of my servers.
I've had Fedora on my Framework laptop for the last year and have really enjoyed the out-of-the-box usability. I think the only troubleshooting I've had to do over that year is some weird issues with CUPS.
I'd love to check out Void one of these days, though, or switch back over to Arch, which was my primary for a few years before Fedora. As an aging dude, distro-hopping isn't quite as exciting as it was 10-15 years ago when I had more time and energy to play around.
Arch Linux with GNOME on my primary desktop. Fedora for other desktop. Rocky Linux on servers.
QubesOS
I'm currently running Mint on my Computer and Ubuntu on servers.
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.
Linux Mint on my main PC (which still has a Windows drive on it) but I really want to get a bigger Linux SSD and I want to try out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed instead.
I also use Fedora on my laptop.

Ubuntu 23.04 on home media server mini pc and on second laptop. Ended up being the most stable for my use cases and with the most sane defaults, requiring only a couple of extensions. Used Pop_OS! in the past, will switch to their desktop once it's released next year.
I love Manjaro when I just want things to work out of the box, but I use EndeavourOS on my main machine for better AUR compatibility. I love how minimal Endeavour is. The few issues I've had (always due to me screwing up updates) have been fixed in minutes with Timeshift + BTRFS snapshots. KDE Plasma always. I love KDE software, and you can customize it for any workflow - I've got my system exactly how I want it for the sort of work I do.
Fedora for desktop/laptop, and Debian or Ubuntu for my servers.
I use Debian 12 with Plasma at home. I'm retired so no work computers.
i'm a pretty big fan of "Just Works" stuff in general, so i went with fedora, especially considering my pc (originally built for windows) has a nvidia card.
though, in the future, i might like trying out a rolling-release distro like arch.
I use Arch on my desktop and Asahi Linux on my laptop
I use mint, but I run i3-gaps on it
I want things to be up to date, stable, and customisable. Oh and not have the crap Ubuntu tries to shove down my throat these days.
