I've been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don't really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that's a very minor thing.

i like fedora a lot, but its updates got a little too far ahead for me. So i recently switched to debian 12, and with flatpaks and their more-current mesa components, everything is working on my desktop as well as it was before, especially games on steam (flatpak) and in bottles.

Zorin OS. No muss, no fuss. I've been wanting to hop to Endeavor or Pop! just to do something different.

I mainly play games and watch movies.

Arch, btw. With GNOME.

For me it's tumbleweed at the moment it's defaults like btrfs and snapper are how I used to setup fedora. Then there's the tools like OBS and yast that are super useful it's rolling but well tested before it gets to you

Manjaro with KDE. I've only been running Linux for a month, and found Arch a bit intimidating, so to me Manjaro was the closest I dare fly to the sun. Really liking it so far.

Arch btw

I'll only mention it because I haven't seen it yet, I just installed endeavor os and it's been pretty Great

Arch for the last 8ish years. I'm interested in switching to something immutable and with a declarative package manager, but every time I try something else I end up back on arch. It works and has all the packages I use ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Modified Ubuntu, Snap-less...

For now, it's Debian 12 with KDE Plasma. But I'm really interested in Immutable Systems. I like OpenSuse Kapla, but the KDE Integration is still in alpha. There are still a few shortcomings with the only flatpak approach, like the fact that the Steam Flatpak can't provide smooth wireless controller support because of lacking permissions.

Fedora Workstation. It's fast and stable.

Everything I use is available either as a Flatpak or a RPM.

I used Feren OS for a long time, but now i prefer Cachy OS and Vanilla Arch on my laptop, both with KDE Plasma

Arch on my main pc, and Ubuntu on my server, only reason it's Ubuntu is I needed 6.2 kernel for my Intel arc encoding card and debian based for the arrs

Every time I try something different I always come back to arch + swaywm

blendOS because it gives you access to all the good stuff, including the AUR and even Android apps.

OpenSuse leap

Trisquel GNU+Linux on my Librebooted ThinkPad X200

Vanilla ass Ubuntu. I spent 25 years finding the right distro, this is good enough. My first love was Mandrake.

POP!_OS is amazing. It started out as a way for System76 to create an Ubuntu operating system image that had all the latest packages that they would need for their hardware but then grew into something much bigger. They have a plan for Wayland with cosmic-epoch and they ship the latest kernel (6.4.6 as of writing) and latest Mesa. It's solely responsible for killing my distro hopping (as well as having GNU Guix and Flatpak).

Watch this snippet on where POP!_OS came from (invidious link)

EndeavourOS with KDE customized to my liking.

Arch on everything with a screen. NixOS on everything without.

I'm also on Fedora and love it, but I'm thinking of switching to OpenMandriva ROME. OpenSUSE's Tumbleweed is another option.
