Gentoo on most of my machines, CentOS on an internet connected server.
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 using Void too! I love it.
Void gang. \o/

How is it compared to Devuan? I have never used it but I've always been curious about it.
I'm using fedora for my main workstation at home. most of my servers are run on almalinux but I do have a few that are ubuntu and proxmox for virtualization. At work we only use and support RHEL.
Arch and fedora
I dual boot Silverblue/Gentoo on a workstation, and Mint on a spare machine
I use Lubuntu 22.04 on my old laptop from 2009. It still shows it's age while surfing the web, but it's surprisingly snappy and usable otherwise.
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.
Debian
If I'm running it on my main machine, Arch Linux with KDE. I have 3 monitors and live to have an autohiding panel on either end of the displays. One on the far right and one on the far left. With a sys tray in the top right corner with the time as well. On my NAS I'm running Debian with open media vault and I'm running ubuntu minimal on a little odroid device with pihole.
Ubuntu 23.04 on home media server mini pc and on second laptop. Ended up being the most stable for my use cases and with the most sane defaults, requiring only a couple of extensions. Used Pop_OS! in the past, will switch to their desktop once it's released next year.
Fedora on my desktop and laptop since a few years. Proxmox on my server, Openmediavault on my nas, Ipfire on the router, Openwrt on the access point and Debian(stable) on my virtual machines.
Endeavour OS. Been on it nearly for two years now.
Usually EndeavourOS
Debian (usually Sid) and Arch.
Debian with KDE for my trusty X230 ThinkPad and Kubuntu for my desktop (mostly due to more up-to-date drivers for my gaming needs).
Manjaro on the workstation and Laptop, Arch on the server - with exposed BSD VM, else isolated
I use EndeavourOS with Hyprland on my laptop but I am considering trying VanillaOS (once they move to Debian base). On desktop I have Ubuntu 20.04 and EndeavourOS (both on Gnome)
Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma
I'm a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.
I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I've tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
I daily drive Zorin, it is a fork of Ubuntu that carries some Windows like features and has been helping me transition over.
Cinnimon
Nobara on my gaming PC, I keep windows on a laptop just incase i need it for something. So far literally the only thing I needed windows for is to rip a steam skin from an installer so I could port it to Linux lol.
Tried various ubuntu/debian based distros in a vm on my windows laptop at first. Eventually realised I was only using Windows to run the vm so took the plunge and wiped windows, I couldn't be happier. I've rolled around a bit but for now I'm settled on arch with xmonad and I love it
I use Debian 12 with Plasma at home. I'm retired so no work computers.
Currently using Arch (btw). I've only used linux for probably about 8 months and my first distro was Nobara & then Endeavour.
I'm currently in the middle of setting my laptop up with a dual boot into Arch (btw).
My reasoning is that it's more customizable and I can more easily know everything on my machine...
...my real reasoning is I like the logo better.
I'm a basic bitch. Ubuntu LTS. Just works, no hassle, lots of support.
I had to move away from good old Ubuntu as it seems to get worse and worse with every new version. I have had such odd issues with even office like programs and video, I miss the time when it just seemed to work out of the box.
Yeah I don't have time to reinvent the the wheel anymore. Anything that has ever gone wrong has been solved on Ubuntu.
I'm equally happy to run Centos on a server.
I like PopOS quite a bit.
I started using it less though when I got an HDR monitor- can’t wait for that to be supported in Linux
Ubuntu on my servers and as container base images.
I use NixOS for everything. I have a Nix flake that defines my systems (two VPS, a desktop, a laptop and a little home server) and I can modularize the config snippets that apply to the machines so I can effortlessly reuse them. Add to that the atomic updates and reliable rollback and there you have it.
KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.
For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents' house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.
Mint with Cinnamon is my daily driver on my desktop and laptop for almost 3 years now. I ran a company for a while using Linux and managed to find everything I needed for software to run administration. It was great. I still have a windows tablet for troubleshooting and equipment specific requests, but I always feel weird logging into it.
Currently a Fedora guy, and have been for a while. Who knows if that will change tho...
Just Ubuntu. I have tried plenty of others but Ubuntu just seems to tick most boxes for me.
EDIT: I am looking forward to the new Pop! when it comes out, I will surely give it a try, No idea if I will switch then though.
