Gentoo, it just works

I use Bunsenlabs and like it a lot

Fedora Atomic, especially Bluefin, Bazzite and Aurora.

Nearly unbreakable, very reliable and stable in everyday use, needs no maintenance (updates itself, etc.) and more!

GNU Guix

MX Linux is the best, obviously. Otherwise it wouldn’t be #1 on DistroWatch, right? /j

Debian Stable. Predictable, low-maintenance, and well-supported. From time to time, I think about switching over to Alpine or even BSD, but the software selection and abundance of Q&A posts for Debian and its derivatives keeps me coming back. Having been a holdout on older Windows versions in the past, I’m quite used to waiting for new features and still amazed at how much easier life is with a proper package manager.

Fedora. Any kind.

Arch (cachyos) on my desktop, Debian on my server.

Doesn’t really get any better than those two in my opinion

I got arch cus its light af basically, id just install what i want/need myself

Really depends on what you do and value. I use lots of kde software, so kde distros are my go to. then one big diffrence between distros is how they get updated. do you want the latest updates asap on the costs of stability, or do you want an effing never crashing distro but lag behind in updates a few months/years, or a middleground.

These are the two points i considered when i choose.

Screw distros, just use Arch

Personnaly, i’m using Fedora and i love it!

Arch because I like getting the latest releases of packages

I really love NixOS and use it on all my devices. Its not as difficult as people say and it really makes the linux experience a piece of cake once you get it down.

The single config file to control almost everything is just what I was looking for in linux and the fact that it solved any kind of dependency hell I have experienced in the past is huge. If I had to list a top 3 it would be NixOS, Fedora, and Arch.

I use Arch for personal and gaming, Debian for self hosting and hacking, Alpine for containerized cloud deployments.
