I'm very happy with Arch. Before that I was using Mint.

Pop_OS on my laptop
Switched my 15 yo macbook to Xubuntu. Now it works much better than vanilla Ubuntu.
Arch and it's variants, depending on when I feel like reinstalling again, currently testing the waters with EndeavourOS

NixOS on two boxes (starting to deep dive big into flakes to try to automate how the separate devices are configured and apps installed, itβs pretty slick if you ever need to reload the PCs). I have endeavorOS for an AI test box since it was easier to get an arch based distro to work with the complicated install chain of Cuda and Python dependency hell. I have Fedora on an PC my wife uses with Budgie. I have a Debian box for my 3d printer controlling. I may move something back to Solus once they release their new ISO, I miss it. Iβd probably end up installing nixpkgs on it so I donβt loose too much functionality/package availability.
Been using Linux for the past 10 years and have tried just about every distro. I decided to stop hopping and have been on Fedora for the past year and a half. Fedora has worked great for me and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon. Also should add I use KDE fedora because I canβt stand gnome
Kubuntu
"I was a windows user and am trying Linux, but I am not afraid of hiding the fact that i was once a windows user."
Not saying this is bad ofc, just saying this as a joke π€£

I have commitment issues when it comes to distros, but the one I seem to go home to most often is Endeavour. I could set up Arch myself, but Endeavour with KDE pretty much includes what I would want on my desktop anyway. Opensuse Tumbleweed gets an honorable mention too, I think their automated testing systems are a pretty neat idea.
Kubuntu LTS on my PC
Ubuntu Server LTS on my servers
Arch w/ XFCE
I'm a Trisquel user. Though, I'm thinking of moving to Guix.
Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)
Debian since '95, (After a try with Slackware and RedHat each for a month or 2-3)
I run testing on my home devices (trixie now). Totally happy with it. (I really don't like the rpm based ones, even more so since IBM bought RedHat) Tried Ubuntu once, didn't know how fast to get back after the 1st major upgrade killed my system years ago.
I used ctwm since '96, switched to xfce4 in '18 (and use it as wm), ctwm is still in use for vnc connections on the rpi.
Debian or CentOS. But I do server stuff.
Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.

Fedora, itβs running great on my older ThinkPad
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.
Mint, yet on my old laptop. Still on Windows on my main PC
When Windows 10 released, I jumped to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, its been 6 years and am on 22.04, tried Mint for a month in between last year. Considering trying Debian 12 because Ubuntu just does not feel as good as it used to.
