Archlinux but I want to switch to Void Linux. Tried it a last year and it was awesome but the packages are too few for my licking. Giving it a couple more years before going back again

Debian stable!!!

...

I started a long time ago with RedHat4 (not RHEL) - like the late 90's I think... Went to Slackware for a while then Gentoo then Ubuntu

finally settled on Debian, been using at work and home since Squeeze (at home), just went native at work in Aug 2018.

Started with Slackware in the mid-to-late 90's, via Gentoo to Ubuntu. Now using Mint since Mint 19 because I like Cinnamon and having a system that doesn't suddenly break after and update.

Ubuntu on the Linodes though.

I started with NetBSD about 1995. Moved to Linux full-time in 2002. SuSE linux until 2004, when I switched to Slackware, and I switched to Arch on everything about 2013.
