Ubuntu 22.10
Xubuntu 22.04.
EndevourOS, running gnome and x11 for better gaming performance.
Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)
Since 2008 I am an Arch Linux user (multiple PCs and laptops, as well as some Raspberry Pie devices and a "mini PC" used as home server).
I used Ubuntu since initial release in 2004 and before that I used Debian in dual-boot with Windows since around the year 2000. With switching to Ubuntu I completely ditched Windows and never used it on any non work-related machines again.
Arch BTW for my personal machine and Debian for my server
I am using Rocky Linux 9 on my home PC and Ubuntu 22.04 Server on my VPS.
Debian and Alpine
Alpine for Docker containers and Debian for general putpose and sometimes also for containers.
MX Linux. I can customize and use many obsecure programs really easily.
I used to run manjaro, but after some problems I decided to cut the middle man, and jumped to arch.
So now I use arch btw.
Debian or CentOS. But I do server stuff.
Arch and Debian. In the future Iβll probably move to something without systemd, but for now this is what I use. I donβt understand why so many people use Ubuntu and even fedora now with this REHL controversy. Why would choose to use a corporate distro when others are also just as good? Doesnβt that negate the purpose of using linux and free software in the first place? (This applies to popos, linux mint Ubuntu, and all those other Ubuntu OSes)
when others are just as good
Arch linux.
I've always been more of a "jump into the deep end and learn then learn to swim", so when I originally was looking at trying Linux, I was searching for the most non-user friendly distro (and at the time, the most popular opinion online for that was Arch). So that was my first distro.
Over the years, I've tried Gentoo and Void as well. But I've always been coming back to Arch.
Linux Mint on Desktop, Arch on my laptop
I recently just set up Mint on a virtual machine. I had the iso image and I knew how it's easy for me to get around, so I did it only to find the program I was looking for isn't what I thought it was. It's kinda my main go to for Linux work on a virtual machine because of how hassle free it tends to be for me.
That VM was made after I made the mistake of making a Liya one but not putting enough memory into the virtual hard disk.
I'm currently waiting to upgrade computers before I make the full jump since I already have everything set up just fine on my desktop, but I'm definitely thinking of starting with Mint for a general easy to use start or going to endeavourOS since I have some experience with that. (That's subject to change if I try more distros on virtual machines and find one I really like...)
Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.
Gentoo's own handbook is very handy. If you're ok with Arch, you'll have no problem with Gentoo. And if you have questions, you can join my tiny Gentoo community here: !gentoo@lemm.ee

I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)
I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.
I started with Fedora, then gave a few looks outside, now when I use Linux, it's 99% Ubuntu/Mint 1% Zorin (to show the similarities with Windows and explain how easy can be for an old newbie used to Win)
My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.
Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.
Gentoo!
Even started a community with a whopping 16 subscribers and almost no posts! !gentoo@lemm.ee.
Fedora
Main computer: Arch (BTW) because I am a WM user (awesomewm) and AL has no bloat to remove. Also because of the AUR.
- main server is a gentoo beast. I chose gentoo because systems was actually causing some problems and reporting a "degraded" status. OpenRC is really nice after years of systemd :-)
- second server, used for backups: NixOS, for no particular reason. I might install Debian 12 on it one day.
Pop_OS on my laptop
