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.

    I was messing with the NixOS system config in weird ways and accidentally bricked it a few times, but I just booted into a previous configuration and fixed it. Whereas with Arch you would be fucked and have to pull out a rescue disk.

      You just need to be careful not breaking your bootloader, but on the other side this is fixable too with a live environment
