I'm using Mageia at home.
I like its stability, and ease to do almost anything with CCM.
Also Raspbian on a raspberry.
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.

Using Garuda (basically just Arch with some bloat) because I'm 1) too lazy to install Arch myself and 2) on an Nvidia card and Wayland WMs still seem buggy for me. Once (if ever) Wayland is stable on Nvidia I'll probably look for an alternative
arch
After using different distros for more than 10 years, I reached a never imagined level of not caring anymore. Nowadays, I use any of them, and it's fine. I don't even care to change the wallpaper or tweak most settings anymore.
For the record, I'm using fedora on my main rig, mx linux on my low-end laptop, and armbian on my orange pi board.
Been using ubuntu for quite sometime now it just works for me. Not much setup needed and currently has most of the support of my favorate programs.
I'm an arch boi through and through
Arch
I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release
Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc
xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i'm probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.
i switched to linux so that i could customise everything, so ubuntu and manjaro (the first two i used) didn’t really do anything for me. After using a macbook for a bit (still my primary laptop), I found Arch which i now daily drive and love it!
Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.
Now I am using fedora, before that I used debian stable.
I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland. I once use LinuxMint for a long time though, I love their stability and sane default but I just found Hyprland to be a perfecr DE for me. Alas Debian based distro currently unable to install Hyprland due to library and toolkit issues.
Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.
I came back to stay on Fedora and so far I'm really liking it haven't changed for ages. I came from endeavour OS because eventually some updates just broke the system which is why I switched to it in the first place from Manjaro. the only trouble I had was reinstalling nvidia graphic driver after an upgrade from 37 to 38 but I got sorted eventually.
Nixos, mostly because I wanted to have configuration manage for my laptop and VPSs, and it solves that and the problem of configuration (installed apps etc. in my case) drifting. Also nix as a whole idea is cool, but I figured that out later.
I've primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I've been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.
Arch on the desktop.
I'm using my laptop to try out some distro just because i don't use it very much so i don't have to reconfigure a lot of stuff.
Been on Linux Mint Cinnamon for at least a decade. I love Cinnamon; most don't take the time to understand how to customize it, and it's not hard. Mint removes all of Canonical's bullshit in Ubuntu and it just works.
I've been using Fedora with Cinnamon almost exclusively for more than 10 years.
Currently I use Fedora KDE spin because it fully suits me out of the box and while it's packages are not bleeding edge, they are still relatively fresh. I had some stability problems with Void when I used it on my primary machine last time, so this was the only reason to switch to Fedora. I used Void for many years, and nowadays if I get some poor hardware (like old laptops or PC's) I prefer to install Void. Can't say if it any lighter than Fedora, but for me tinkering with Void is much more enjoyable
Fedora. I started my Linux journey 1 year ago with Pop!_OS, then switched to Endeavor OS, an Arch based distro for beginners because I felt limited due to the Ubuntu/Debian base. I liked Endeavor, but it was too easy to break and I had to reinstall it several times. Ichoese Fedora due to its stability while maintaing up-to-date packages. Fedora has been a great experience for a long time.
I have been using Fedora for two years now.
Before that I used Pop_OS! for a short time, but I didn't like it that much.
Vanilla Gnome was more to my liking.
I run pop os. But I can see myself moving to something non-ubuntu in the future. For server stuff I'm most familiar with Debian/RedHat.
With Debian 12 being out, I'm back to Debian and for good this time. We got the last plasma 5 and the inclusion of nonfree firmware on theisoo makes it easier to install. After all these years, Debian still feels like home.
I used to distro hop A LOT, but by now I'm mostly on Arch [my laptop still runs Nix but I'm thinking of going back to Arch on that one too - Nix is nice but I feel like the difficulties for non-pre-packaged stuff aren't worth it for me personally], just because it's simple enough that I know where to look to fix things, plus the wiki is great.
My favorite are Alpine Linux and NixOS, I use Alpine Linux mainly for my home server and nixOS on my laptop. I really like the power they give you.
Mint these days, coming off a several year antiX and MX spell. I switched because I wanted something more pedestrian that would let me run modern diversions without much fuss.
I've been mostly using Ubuntu and it's been working mostly well but I do want to switch at some point. I've tried Porteus but I've tried it on two different computers and I couldn't get the WiFi adapter to work on either of them. I know why it's not working on one of the computers but the WiFi adapter in the other one works just fine with Ubuntu so I have no Idea why it's not working.
I've got my eye on some other distros that I want to try but I haven't had the time or the desire to try them yet.
Fedora on my desktop, Alpine on cloud servers, Debian on my Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu for work. Also messing around with Arch, Debian, and PeppermintOS on some older boxes.
Arch Linux with GNOME on my primary desktop. Fedora for other desktop. Rocky Linux on servers.
OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I tried so many others, and I really wanted to like Arch and the Arch-based distros, but they just weren't for me.
Honestly, I've been trying to jump ship. Suse has some things I would like improved, but I still want that stable rolling release. So I might just be joining you there on Void. My main concern with void for some reason has always been the package manager, but considering Flatpaks are fully matured now and apx is available if I really need it, I don't have much of an excuse other than the fact that I need to do some testing first.
Hi for now i'm on Debian 12 on my laptop Asus gl553vd, all is working great
I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.
Mostly Gentoo with a sprinkle of Arch and Debian. It used to be Ubuntu, then Arch, but Gentoo has opened up so much for me - I just cannot go back to a binary distro.
At this point most issues I run into at work where it's not Gentoo - I just nod and smile, and wish we had switched to it already. And then proceed finding a workaround because that's the best Ubuntu and the likes can offer.
Debian and really only Debian… I distro hopped a lot when I was first messing with Linux in the late 00s, settled on Arch for a little while when I was daily driving Linux, but finally just landed on Debian for all my server needs. It’s stable, reliable and the upgrade path is pretty simple. Rolling release is cool and all, but Debian’s upgrade process is just as easy too.
KDE Neon. I actually love it as a daily driver. It’s stable and familiar and I think it feels quite polished for regular casual use.
Ubuntu or kde neon are my go to distros
EndeavourOS (arch based) with i3 on my desktop, mainly for the AUR and not needing to worry about OS versions because everything is rolling release. Fedora for work the match our servers, and honestly it's probably like my second choice for home anyway just cause of the stability.
I just use i3 everywhere because tbh what pc isn't made better with vi shortcuts as part of the desktop environment....
