Slackware 15 on desktop, Devuan 4 on laptop, Rocky 8 on my RPI and LineageOS 18 on my phone. Slackware is really awesome.
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.

I'm running Ubuntu for my servers, with kali on my laptop
I seem to keep coming back to Arch and/or Manjaro.
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.
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
Desktop: Ubuntu, mainly because that's what we support at work
Servers: Debian/Proxmox
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!
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.
Void Linux as well here. Actually keep using it because I maintain some packages there.
Manjaro on desktop (well, i3wm). Otherwise mostly FreeBSD.
Right now i am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But i am experimenting with NixOS as well. Bdw first comment on lemmy!
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.
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.
I use Crystal Linux (Arch-based) on my computers, Debian on my servers.
I use Fedora Kinoite for my non-nvidia laptop, and uBlue's nvidia Kinoite image for my desktop. I switched after I got my Steam Deck and found I just really liked the idea of an immutable OS with KDE.
I guess that also means I use SteamOS 3 too!
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.
openSUSE Tumbleweed on my main PC. Ubuntu on the other.
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.
I've really been enjoying CachyOS on the desktop, seems it's got the performance tweaks for gaming but without the bloat like in Garuda. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome for the laptop. I thought I didn't like Gnome but it's a breeze with a trackpad
Arch on my workstation (home and work) and Debian (formerly CentOS) on corporate servers.
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.
Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. As a non technical user it works great. I made tge switch from windows at the beginning of 2023 and not looking back. When I distrohop it will probably be Debian but that will require time I currently don't have.
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....
I’m seriously considering partitioning the old MacBook and dual-booting into a new distro, but I’ll need to look up the process again, and it’s been quite a while. That is part of the fun, though…
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.
Debian testing w. KDE on the desktop, & stable on my vps
edit: oh yea username checks out
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.
Pop_OS on the desktop. Still haven't found the fortitude to change the OS on the Asus laptop.
openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma. It's the perfect combination!
Debian on all of my servers.
I've had Fedora on my Framework laptop for the last year and have really enjoyed the out-of-the-box usability. I think the only troubleshooting I've had to do over that year is some weird issues with CUPS.
I'd love to check out Void one of these days, though, or switch back over to Arch, which was my primary for a few years before Fedora. As an aging dude, distro-hopping isn't quite as exciting as it was 10-15 years ago when I had more time and energy to play around.
I'm using Mageia at home.
I like its stability, and ease to do almost anything with CCM.
Also Raspbian on a raspberry.
I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.
I personally use Pop OS just because it has so many of the settings I like out of the box. I started out on Ubuntu, but one day I felt like a change but I couldn't get into other distros for one reason or another. Pop OS was similar enough to what I liked, but also different enough to be fresh for me.
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.
I've been using fedora for the past couple months, seems to be keeping me from distrohopping
I'm using Fedora Silverblue. I can recommend it.
Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.
Fedora Rawhide with GNOME on my desktop, and Arch with GNOME on laptop (only because there are fingerprint reader drivers for my T470s on AUR)
Arch BTW
