What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

    KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.

    For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents’ house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.

    Arch Linux. Always very up-to-date and the AUR is huge. No dealing with PPAs or snaps or flatpaks or appimages. Just paru -S any-software-ever-made. Also very streamlined (systemd for everything lol) and well documented. I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren’t good at Haskell. Terrible documentation.

    For servers it’s definitely Debian + docker.

    Debian. Several reasons:

    • It’s trustworthy.
    • It’s not going anywhere. Debian existed when I was a kid and it’ll probably still exist when I draw my last breath.
    • I know how to use it, since, once again, I’ve been using it since I was a kid.
    • It has all the desktop environments.
    • It fully supports systemd. I do not miss the unreliability, slowness, and complexity of what came before that. (Normally I wouldn’t mention this, but your former distro of choice exists solely for the purpose of not having systemd, so it’s relevant this time.)

    I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:

    Opensuse tumbleweed on my own computer. Rolling release with snapper is very cool.

    Work machines: some rhel8 machines, some AlmaLinux machines. Local development happens in a Fedora vm, because that’s how most colleagues role. I hope someday my employer enables us to run a linux distro on our work pcs directly, because most of our stuff runs on linux servers and most of us only use windows to launch our fedora vms.

    Fedora, because it just works and it ships recent software versions.

    I also like Fedora Silverblue, and projects like ublue are very interesting in my opinion.

    I use opensuse with kde and I love it. Have been using it for 2 years now.

    For server use at home I use Ubuntu Server and Alma Linux (mostly)

    At work it is all RedHat.

    NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)
