If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?

Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less “Canonical”-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).

Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people’s experiences, there are no wrong answers.

Edit: Thanks for the lots of interesting answers and discussions. I will try a few of the suggestions in a VM.

    Nice, I’ll post mine as a reply since it’s very similar :)

    Work: when I started we were Centos/RHEL with some Debian, then pivoted to primarily Debian, now we have pivoted to Ubuntu.

    Work Desktop: Besides obligatory Windows I have been on Gentoo +KDE for the last 10 years, but the Chromium portage build times as well as some weird performance degradation finally became too much and I just recently switched to NixOS (with newer hardware).

    Home Server: Slackware/Gentoo for a while starting in the mid 2000’s, then stuck with FreeBSD for over a decade. Since then I’ve just happy with Raspian on an rpi, but looking at switching it to NixOS

    Home Desktop: Wasn’t much of a category for me and usually just a Windows junkie at home, but recently been very pleased with SteamOS

      Home server only an rpi? I have one to read out my weather station, but for my 80TB zfs file server, an rpi is a bit too small :).
