I bet most say Debian. I swapped to using Debian, because of a poll on here that was made a couple of months back.
Debian and Arch, not so bad.
2007 Toyota.
Debian is very stable, but you are super behind on updates. Great for servers but not that good for daily use. Fedora is a great choice.
I use Arch. Fedora when I want to switch to something else. Debian doesn't support my WiFi Card OOTB so I don't use it, but its a damn good OS for servers. If you want something like Debian but for daily usage, get Fedora.
Any Linux distribution is good. Feel free to try and test different desktop variants to find what makes you feel comfortable with while, also having things comfortable for the laptop on resources.
I use Linux Mint MATE because I am old as a millenial who played with Gnome in the past. But you might want to try new things and newer desktops with all sorts of special effects (like Deepin, PopOS or ZorinOS. Again: it also depends on what your laptop can handle, so try them yourself and see if you like them. Once you find something you enjoy, keep it and stick with it, so you may focus on being efficient for our great evolution of humanity.
Wow, thanks for mentioning Deepin, never heard of it. It looks so clean! Is it just a prettier Debian? I see that it is built off of a Stable Debian, idk which version they refer to.
macOS for life.
Used to be arch earlier.
macOS when I'm using Adobe and Office suite, for others I use Ubuntu.
Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Gaming and other casual uses - Windows
Viewing Content (streaming, reading blogs) - MacOS
Work - Kali (not working in cybersecurity, its just the easiest to get a vm started with)
Deepin is chinese os based on debian. They are headquartered at famous wuhan.
So if I install it I would get Covid19 from it?
No, but you'll get a complimentary membership to the CCP
Windows 10.
I know Deepin is open source but I did not know CCP was open too. Anyhow, I am just interested in Deepin, without joining CCP. If they force me to join, I could simply compile Deepin myself while removing the joining requirements from the source code.
general desktop - windows 10
development desktop - Linux mint cinnamon
Personal laptop - Ubuntu
Work laptop - manjaro
Why switch from Fedora? It's the best linux distro for laptop/desktop use. It is semi rolling and stable unlike Archlinux. Only disadvantage is the slow package manager
dnf. I think you can rundnf5now on Fedora 38 which may solve it ?I am currently using Debian 12. I think it's best to stick to the major distro's for daily driver i.e Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora. I may move to Fedora 38 in few weeks since Debian 12 is already getting stale for me (great for servers though).
Variety of Linux distros - current favorite is Linux Mint.
I'm currently happy with KDE Neon
If it only wasn't based on LTS and they got rid of snaps...
I'll agree with you about the snaps... I just ignore it and go on about my day. I already have servers where I can easily install windows or linux with DE if i ever need anything so it works for me just fine.
Desktop? then Windows 10, even though I can upgrade to 11, just too old to learn new tricks and unlearn old ones... Linux DE or Windows 11.
use windows on personal computer due to reasons.
but on servers, the latest debian is my go-to. they're releasing a new one soon, let's see how that goes.
Honda Astrea Legend is my daily driver
I am a die hard macOS fan and I wouldn't replace it with anything else yet, for desktop use
Windows 11 on my laptop and PC and windows server 2022 on the server sitting next to me (because its really easy to make a file share with windows)
Really...
