NixOS. My entire config is source-controlled and I can easily roll back to a previous boot image if something breaks like cough Nvidia drivers. I also use it for my home router and all self-hosted services.

I use Arch, btw, but I don’t consider it the best (yes I do.) I could easily transition to Fedora, for example (I would never do that,) and be completely happy (I would rather continually hit my head with the metal stapler gun on my desk.)

Because it was my first distro that got me away from Windows. And yes, it’s Mint.

Mint is Ubuntu minus everything that makes Ubuntu annoying. That’s why I like it.

I considered to go back to Debian but… eh, I’m too old and impatient for that. Nowadays I mostly want things that work out of the box.

Void made Linux fun again for me. It gets so much right with the rolling release model.

It works, has the packages I need and they are up-to-date

How about Qubes? if you have the specs, you get sandboxes (VMs) and all distros are available into 1. Heck, you can even have windows VMs…

And if you don’t have the specs, just use any linux and install distrobox (docker) !

Because it lets me use a list of packages instead of needing to remember what to install, has every package I need and let’s me use them without installing them, and has a good rollback system to go along with cutting edge packages.
