What distro(s) do you use?

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.

Mainly running Gentoo, on my desktop, laptop, and even my desktop at work. Though my homelab is mainly Debian, with a small number of AlmaLinux nodes as well.
At work it's almost all RHEL though, since support contracts are nice.
I heard gentoo is HOT! Which contributes to the acceleration of global warming........ OMG, I need to use Arch again... nooooo. :( Guys, I've decided. It's okay to have conflicting environmental and sysadmin ideologies at the same time.
Gentoo does tend to include a lot of compiling if you don't use a binhost - like I do on my laptop.
But its USE flags and live ebuilds are just too damn useful for me to really stick to other distros, especially since I tend to do a lot of development and run bleeding edge components due to that.
I hear that. Gentoo also allows you to do local patches. Had to do that once for gdb (don't ask) and was surprised how easy it was. Very cool system. Would recommend.
