As a long term windows users, I recently switched to kubuntu and Iβm loving the kde plasma desktop. I like the look and feel of windows but not the telemetry so kubuntu really is the best of both for me.
Main desktop is fedora workstation due to the intel a380 and to get my gpu runnin out the box.
Pinebook pro has manjaro will be going slackware once i order the nvme adapter to install it there.
Old lenovo computer - testing and learning netbsd on it.
Overall im hoping to get good enough to just have slackware for linux and any of the 3 main BSDs on other devices.

Arch for personal and Alma Linux on my servers, but have been playing with the thought of NixOS for a while. With the new Red Head changes though I think I'll migrate my servers to NixOS soon. Maybe my personal setup will follow after that.
Any reason to not use debian, new update seems okay?
Never used Debian, i used Alma Linux because of the RHEL compatibility but fuck that now. I'm mainly a developer so I try to do all my infrastructure as code and NixOS just seems like the perfect match for that.
I used to run manjaro, but after some problems I decided to cut the middle man, and jumped to arch.
So now I use arch btw.
Arch. Super happy with it. Been running it on all computers for a decade or so.
Endevour OS, with Hyprland WM
Fedora, itβs running great on my older ThinkPad
Nobara on the Desktop, Pop OS on the Laptop and the Surface (needs a custom kernel though). I'd use Nobara on everything but I am too lazy to switch.
I am running Ubuntu on my machines and spin up Docker containers if I need other flavours.
Gentoo is my prefered distro.
I'm a Trisquel user. Though, I'm thinking of moving to Guix.
Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)
Linux Mint on Desktop, Arch on my laptop
I recently just set up Mint on a virtual machine. I had the iso image and I knew how it's easy for me to get around, so I did it only to find the program I was looking for isn't what I thought it was. It's kinda my main go to for Linux work on a virtual machine because of how hassle free it tends to be for me.
That VM was made after I made the mistake of making a Liya one but not putting enough memory into the virtual hard disk.
I'm currently waiting to upgrade computers before I make the full jump since I already have everything set up just fine on my desktop, but I'm definitely thinking of starting with Mint for a general easy to use start or going to endeavourOS since I have some experience with that. (That's subject to change if I try more distros on virtual machines and find one I really like...)
Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.

I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)
Debian since '95, (After a try with Slackware and RedHat each for a month or 2-3)
I run testing on my home devices (trixie now). Totally happy with it. (I really don't like the rpm based ones, even more so since IBM bought RedHat) Tried Ubuntu once, didn't know how fast to get back after the 1st major upgrade killed my system years ago.
I used ctwm since '96, switched to xfce4 in '18 (and use it as wm), ctwm is still in use for vnc connections on the rpi.
Fedora KDE Spin, I like all the options to customize.
Since 2008 I am an Arch Linux user (multiple PCs and laptops, as well as some Raspberry Pie devices and a "mini PC" used as home server).
I used Ubuntu since initial release in 2004 and before that I used Debian in dual-boot with Windows since around the year 2000. With switching to Ubuntu I completely ditched Windows and never used it on any non work-related machines again.
When Windows 10 released, I jumped to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, its been 6 years and am on 22.04, tried Mint for a month in between last year. Considering trying Debian 12 because Ubuntu just does not feel as good as it used to.
I had nearly the same path. Win 10 -> Ubuntu 16-18 range. Tried Mint back then but didnβt like it. Settled on Debian with Gnome and have been loving it for 4 or so years.
I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.
I used arch btw, now I use NixOS btw
I am using Rocky Linux 9 on my home PC and Ubuntu 22.04 Server on my VPS.
I started with Fedora, then gave a few looks outside, now when I use Linux, it's 99% Ubuntu/Mint 1% Zorin (to show the similarities with Windows and explain how easy can be for an old newbie used to Win)
Manjaro.
My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.
Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.
Fedora because they keep the packages updated. I could go with Arch, but the amount of updates per day is too high.
Lubuntu on one laptop, Xubuntu on the other, as I still can't decide if I prefer LxQt or XFCE.
Debian for my servers
