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.

    Hi, been on Linux for over 20 years now. Very recently (less than a month ago) I switched my personal system to NixOS, I also switched one of my servers to it. Some of my other systems are on Arch as that’s what I was using before. My work computer is on Ubuntu as that is company issued.

    I liked Arch because of its simplicity and the AUR, but I missed the package sets from Gentoo, NixOS is excellent because it brings the package lists and also includes configuration on them. A pain to do the initial setup, but then you get reproducible systems very easily and most of the time you want your systems to be mostly the same.
