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.


Desktop: Pop!_OS 24.04 (thinking of rolling back to Gnome as cosmic is too rough around the edges still)
Servers: Ubuntu Server 24.04.4
Containers: Debian Trixie or specific images for the project I’m working on
I upgraded from 22 to 24 as well. Cosmic is nice and can be used as a daily driver, but not quite there for a power user. I’ve installed KDE and like it quite a bit so far. But how has no one made a file browser that can match or beat thunar yet? Like the mist basic things like selecting and copying from the address bar and click and drag to select multiple items without needing to start from some empty space at the bottom!
