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.


You’ve had me realise how long I’ve actually been using Linux for, though not quite at the ten year mark unless you count some very early endeavours with ubuntu.
fully agree with you on Debian as a rock solid server. my “don’t fuck with it, just work” client system for several years now has been fedora workstation, though I’ve only relatively recently switched all of my personal computing over to it (still have several windows installations for work-related testing).
I realized after posting it was actually longer than I thought, too. Debian is great, some installs I even run Sid without issues, but I am pretty diligent about update notices.
