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.

Fedora (with Plasma) and I don't plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.
That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I'd try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.
I recently Switched to Fedora Gnome and have been liking it.
Lot more user friendly than Mint imo.
Nixos. Can't even fathom going back to anything after getting to grips with it
EndeavourOS with KDE
Same systems as vanilla arch for packaging such as pacman and AUR
Archwiki instruction work without modification
Great forum community without the incessant RTFM
Elementary It’s just like Mint but I had way less issues than with any other distros.
Neon right now i will try pop os when the new cosmic desktop drops
