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.
Linux
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.

Currently a Fedora guy, and have been for a while. Who knows if that will change tho...
I've been on Linux for around a year now and for most of that I've been on either Arch or Gentoo. On Arch I start to miss the features of Gentoo and it's modularity, so I switch. Then on Gentoo I start to get frustrated from my inexperience and move back to Arch. Then the cycle repeats. Personally though, I like Gentoo better, I just get lazy sometimes and move to Arch.
I started in FreeBSD for a decade, and then went to Arch Linux for a couple of years.
I went to OpenBSD for another decade, and then I suddenly needed Linux for specific software, and chose openSUSE Tumbleweed based on technical merit.
I ended up ditching Tumbleweed earlier this year, and now I run Debian bookworm.
fedora all the way babyyy
Archlinux on all desktops and laptops, Debian on all raspis, FreeBSD on the firewall (pfsense).
Android! What it technically uses the Linux kernel...
Server: Ubuntu at work (previously CentOS), Debian at home. Toying with the idea to switch the home server to NixOS, given that all the services I run there are already configured declaratively.
Desktop: Ubuntu mainly due to inertia from back in the day when it was the simplest way to get Steam and ZFS support, but my loathing of snaps increases every day and I would be willing to consider alternatives if I had to reinstall. I don't care for rolling release as long as I have flatpaks. An install option with LVM is a must for me, however.
Been using PopOS for my living room AMD GPU pc, and it’s been the most seamless steam machine experience I’ve had so far. Tried multiple distros on my Nvidia one, and I just had no luck, I’ll move my Nvidia pc into Linux soon for another attempt.
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)
Lubuntu. I loved Crunchbang back in the day.
I am using Pop!_OS, but probably want to change to something leaner soon.
Used to distrohopp a lot but now i have used EndeavourOS for a year and it's perfect for me. Basically Arch but a little more stable and faster to install
Artix for my desktop and Alpine for my pi. I like my minimalism and hate systemd with a passion.
I use a mix of Fedora and endeavour, love fedora to bits, but I had some issues that were solved by using endeavour
Currently using Mint, once I get a new laptop though, I'll likely switch back to Debain.
I used Manjaro in the past, now I use EndeavourOS and loving it.
(Servers only)
- Rocky Linux 9 by default
- If something is not supported on Rocky Linux 9, I revert to Centos 7
- Debian as a last choice if what I'm using does not support RHEL for any reason
I've used pretty much all the things, from slackware and debian to redhat and arch and even various BSDs, but these days it's mostly nixos that makes me happy. High initial investment, but so worth it in the end.
Was an Arch user for a long time, last few months I've made the switch to nixos, whilst I'm still experimenting I am enjoying it so far, still a lot to learn though.
I was a longtime Arch user 10+ years up until recently when I decided to give Void Linux a shot. In hindsight I wish that I'd made the switch earlier as I love it !
Nobara Official, I pretty much only game on my pc and have had no issues with Nobara.
Been using Manjaro as my daily driver for ages. Tried a few others over the years but never found them comparably nice to use. Works out of the box, performs well incl in games, rolling release yet never had much stability issues, and access to the AUR.
That is, for my laptop and desktop ofc. Servers I wouldn't run on it, at least no serious production ones. Not too important home servers maybe out of lazyness (I know this well, so easier to get stuff done).
Debian on everything. Steamos on (arch or manjaro under the hood). A couple of rasbian instances and Ubuntu for work.
Archlinux user for ~13 years, I'm now on Fedora Kinoite.
