Experienced Linux users, what are you using?
If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now? Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something like “Canonical”-y for a long time. Appreciate recommendations or just a interesting discussion.

I've been fully daily driving Linux for about 15 years now, and for me it's almost all Arch now. I started out distro-hopping between Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Slack, etc, but once I found Arch (and spent two weeks getting it installed, booted, and customized exactly to my liking) I was finally at home. I know the meme. I'm not here to claim superiority, or diminish the value of other perfectly good distros. I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc. What I love about Arch is the lack of bloat. You get precisely what you ask for, no more, no less. You can legitimately run htop and *recognize* literally every program, and know if something's wrong immediately. Every one of my Arch boxes is a perfect little snowflake, suited to exactly the task(s) I built it for. And if there was anything I had to learn or configure along the way? That's just the journey, man. I have been eyeballing NixOS though...

As much of the meme of an arch user will tell you they are using arch. NixOS is SO much more accurate to the meme.

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.
