Ubuntu studio for it's real time kernel and music software. Connecting a MIDI controller is a pain and I only ever did music stuff few times with it. Now I use it for anything but music.
My other computer has just plain ubuntu.

Daily use: Linux Mint
Funsies: VOID
Been using Linux for the past 10 years and have tried just about every distro. I decided to stop hopping and have been on Fedora for the past year and a half. Fedora has worked great for me and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon. Also should add I use KDE fedora because I canβt stand gnome
I have a T420 running Void Linux, another T420 running Mint, a T430 running Arch, and a T16 running EndeavourOS.

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.
Gentoo!
Even started a community with a whopping 16 subscribers and almost no posts! !gentoo@lemm.ee.
I am running Ubuntu on my machines and spin up Docker containers if I need other flavours.
Fedora
I'm very happy with Arch. Before that I was using Mint.
Pop_OS on my laptop
Main computer: Arch (BTW) because I am a WM user (awesomewm) and AL has no bloat to remove. Also because of the AUR.
- main server is a gentoo beast. I chose gentoo because systems was actually causing some problems and reporting a "degraded" status. OpenRC is really nice after years of systemd :-)
- second server, used for backups: NixOS, for no particular reason. I might install Debian 12 on it one day.
Switched my 15 yo macbook to Xubuntu. Now it works much better than vanilla Ubuntu.

Arch and it's variants, depending on when I feel like reinstalling again, currently testing the waters with EndeavourOS
NixOS on two boxes (starting to deep dive big into flakes to try to automate how the separate devices are configured and apps installed, itβs pretty slick if you ever need to reload the PCs). I have endeavorOS for an AI test box since it was easier to get an arch based distro to work with the complicated install chain of Cuda and Python dependency hell. I have Fedora on an PC my wife uses with Budgie. I have a Debian box for my 3d printer controlling. I may move something back to Solus once they release their new ISO, I miss it. Iβd probably end up installing nixpkgs on it so I donβt loose too much functionality/package availability.
Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)
Debian and Alpine
Alpine for Docker containers and Debian for general putpose and sometimes also for containers.
Nix OS, because I use both a laptop and a desktop constantly, so having a reproducible environment is key
I am using Rocky Linux 9 on my home PC and Ubuntu 22.04 Server on my VPS.
Arch BTW for my personal machine and Debian for my server
MX Linux. I can customize and use many obsecure programs really easily.
Debian or CentOS. But I do server stuff.
Arch and Debian. In the future Iβll probably move to something without systemd, but for now this is what I use. I donβt understand why so many people use Ubuntu and even fedora now with this REHL controversy. Why would choose to use a corporate distro when others are also just as good? Doesnβt that negate the purpose of using linux and free software in the first place? (This applies to popos, linux mint Ubuntu, and all those other Ubuntu OSes)
when others are just as good
Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.
Gentoo's own handbook is very handy. If you're ok with Arch, you'll have no problem with Gentoo. And if you have questions, you can join my tiny Gentoo community here: !gentoo@lemm.ee
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...)
I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)
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.
Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.
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.
EndeavourOS (Arch-based btw)
