"He said the line!"
Honestly it's just so good. The installation was a heck of a process the first time but it taught me so much, and no other distro I've tried has just worked like this across all my hardware.
I am using NixOS but it's... difficult.
I was considering giving NixOS a go. What are you finding difficult about it?

How so? I've always been interested in trying that one.
I'm using Arch (btw) but I'm running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It's kind of wild, it's not like any way I'm used to thinking about an OS at all, so I'm still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!
Pop!_OS
Debian always
I recently switched from Arch to Debian. So far am happy with my choice. I had used arch for about 4 years beforehand but I eventually had enough of flaky AUR packages and decided to just build what I need by hand.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn't require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it's Windows. I've tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there's always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.

See my instance name.
Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn't affect Fedora itself.
Vanilla Arch and Endeavour OS. Also looking at trying out Nix OS since I'm pretty curious.
Pop!_OS is what I keep falling back to. It helps that I use a System76 Thelio and a HP Dev One.

Debian is my true love.
I am a penguin, quack quack. What is a distro? Is that a type of fish?
Xubuntu - back from the days with a slightly slower laptop.
Started using Ubuntu almost a decade ago, never felt the need to switch since then.
btw, I use Arch
Tumbleweed
EndeavourOS KDE on my laptop, Arch with KDE on my PC, and AlmaLinux 9.2 on my homeserver. Have used Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, and Mint in the past.
Iโve been using Void as my daily driver on my desktop for about six years now, I can see myself ever switching. Also have used Solus, Arch, Endeavour, and OpenSuSe on my laptop during that time, which have all been good. But I still prefer Void, it just feels so natural to me now.
Void is just Arch but better.
Arch Linux. Installed it 4 years ago and haven't had any issues. I tried several other distro's prior but there always seemed to be some annoying bug that would make me look elsewhere.
When I came back to Linux in 2020 as a non-technical user, I got recommended Manjaro by a friend. But I found it has issues and when I reinstalled I just went to Arch directly. I found it not that hard to install and use and it really serves me well. So I've stuck with it.
Hobby: Arch Work: Fedora and RHEL
Im starting to lean towards Fedora, but this RHEL news is very concerning.
Ubuntu Server for my home-lab. Fedora for my workstation (dual-booted with Windows, as work requires Windows or Mac, and Microsoft Flight Simulator only runs on Windows.
We should definitely not war on this - all linux is good linux.
I've settled on Manjaro with KDE on my current laptop. On my next one, I'll probably move to plain Arch. Alpine is quite cool as well.
EndeavourOS, but only since a month ago or so. I used OpenSUSE Tumbleweed before that for over a year.
Mint on my media box. Still Windows on my daily driver, mainly for gaming. I did try Mint for it and while I did like it, I couldnโt make the full switch.
Sparky, Manjaro, Ubuntu or Debian testing, depending.
Ubuntu with i3
Wow, People are replying! That usually dosent happen on a first post...
You can't just make this post and not add your answer...

Mint!
Puppy Linux on my already-not-fast-2011 laptop. Many thanks to the Devs on keeping my machine alive! True miracle makers!
