Been using Xubuntu 23.10 recently, but I'm kind of a distro hopper. I need ROCm and some other special (proprietary, ehh) tools that require RHEL, SLE, or some Ubuntu flavor. I also like having a working out-of-the-box configuration. I've used openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch Linux before, might try it again but it's a little bit complicated to me.

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.

Tiny Core OS, because I want a super light distro to run from memory when trying to access computers where the data is still there but something went sour with the OS
I'm really happy with Manjaro. I thought it would be a detour from Debian on my laptop, but I've been running it for like 2 years now.
Artix.
I love using Alpine Linux on my server. Super light and quick to start up.
Manjaro KDE for me - it's not Arch per se, otherwise Ubuntu would also be eliminated for being a derivative of Debian...
Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.
The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don't want something else. Now I'm just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I'm not a fan of endless parentheses)
Kubuntu
Kali Linux! Just too useful, though there can still be some fixing around.
Fixing?
Annie Linux, but sadly it doesn't exist yet.
I like Poky. But for other use case than Arch, Debian and Fedora.
Toaster Linux or Nobara.
How do people feel about Garuda? I put it on a laptop to try it out. I'm still undecided.
I've become a fan of KDE Neon. It's based on Ubuntu LTS but with the the most up-to-date KDE release.
Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful
I've said this before, and I see that I have to say it again, Zorin OS.
Guix is imho beyond normal distros, and I'm never going back to Manjaro or any of the normal distros.
Rocky
Endeavour OS?
