Well I've had more stability issues in OSX (two personal laptops, a work laptop, and a work iMac), than my goto personal setup... Debian Unstable.

Personally Debian Sid is my top choice, Arch being close second, and SlackWare being third for sentimental value.

Ubuntu always breaks on me after a while. Mint destroyed two separate and different installations with its full disk encryption. Gentoo is too much work. Fedora... I just cant bring myself to use something called yum. The Mandrakes, Mandrivas, PureOS's, et. al. and the derivative distros just feel like crutches to me. In my opinion nothing come close to the simplicity and straightforwardness of Debian.

They use dnf now.

Damn. That is even worse. To me DNF means either Duke Nukem Forever or Did Not Finish. I'd rather not chuckle every time I mean to update a package... :)
