I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?
I got arch cus its light af basically, id just install what i want/need myself
Fedora, but I wouldn’t say I’m in love with it. It frustrates me the least. No Linux distro is perfect, but they’re all better than Windows.
Fedora. Any kind.
LFS
I use Gentoo and I love it. The installation process is a bit more complex than Arch but it doesn’t have to be if you choose the precompiled kernel.
The package management is extremely flexible and the community are great. I have a morning routine where I log onto my gentoo desktop before work and update everything; would compare it to raking one of those miniature buddhist sand gardens. Very theraputic!
Have got Debian on an old thinkpad too because it is too under resourced to compile everything. I think Debian is amazing for a solid, reliable distro if you have weak hardware.
Arch (cachyos) on my desktop, Debian on my server.
Doesn’t really get any better than those two in my opinion
I can’t define one favorite distro. I change my daily driver sometimes but it’s always something Arch based, even though I think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is the ultimately best distro/base.
Mx
If there were a universal answer to this, there wouldn’t be any others.
I myself currently use Debian (testing), have for some years now, but I have used other distros in the past too.
Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.
Over the course of the last 20 years, I’ve gone from Arch -> Void -> Pop!_OS -> Ubuntu, and that is what I use on all my machines (laptops, desktops, servers).
Personnaly, i’m using Fedora and i love it!
IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.
(Debian for me.)
IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.
Me too
Best Distro
Needs dictate preferences. An objective assessment isn’t possible even on an individual level, as circumstances change over time. Linux Mint serves as a common starting point, with many users eventually ‘graduating’ to other distributions. The opposite is also true; many eventually return to low-maintenance distros like Linux Mint, preferring something that ‘just works’.

I daily drive secureblue.
Opensuse Tumbleweed. Sometimes I try something else, but Tumbleweed is the one I keep going back to. It is quite solid and rolling release.
MX Linux is the best, obviously. Otherwise it wouldn’t be #1 on DistroWatch, right? /j
