I run Arch on my desktop and media server. The media server mostly just runs docker images though. I set up Fedora Kinoite on my wife’s laptop recently though and think that’s good for every day non gaming use. If I had more time I’d look into NixOS.
I use Fedora with the KDE desktop. I like Fedora because it gets updates pretty quickly, and you get flatpak applications by default, which are more secure and work well. I like KDE because all its built in applications, like the file manager, have the right amount of buttons in them and aren’t overly simplified.
I think most people’s second favourite choice is Mint. Mint is an extremely solid choice. It doesn’t top many lists because it doesn’t really stand out, which makes it great.
My only gripe with Mint is that I wish they didn’t remove KDE as one of their flavors. When I started using Linux like a decade ago, I first tried Fedora but struggled to install it. Not sure if it has improved for beginners since then.
NixOS, really liking the ability to do package and system configuration as code in a single language, and consolidate the configuration for multiple devices in a single repo.
Arch until I get my desktop setup to install Gentoo again. I miss portage so much. I’m going to see if I can make a minimal FreeBSD host install to serve as a hypervisor, and then virtualize various Linux, BSD, and other operating systems, with a Gentoo VM as my main OS. Why FreeBSD? Well…

I would do OpenBSD, but it looks like FreeBSD is much farther ahead on developing AMD IOMMU support, which is what I need.

And if that fails, I may just make a very locked down Gentoo hypervisor, and then I will just practice with a BSD VM until it is ready.
I would like to play with Guix, NixOS, and T2 SDE, and also try LFS.
I use OpenWRT on my routers.
Arch (btw) on my personal computer and Pop_OS! on a shared computer with my family.
Debian with fluxbox, cause I am tired and want things to just work and not change.
Bazzite on desktop because it actually just works and headless Debian on my server because stuff like CoreOS is such a pain in the ass with SELinux.
debian so i don’t have to do anything
Fedora KDE for half a year now
i dual boot windows and solus linux. it was a good distro when i got it but the lack of support has made me just use the windows side for a while now
Mint out of simplicity and ease of use because I’ve still got my training wheels on.
Will use Bazzite soon as I’ve just recently got myself a handheld but I haven’t had the energy to tinker around on it just yet.
