I use Arch Linux on my personal machines since I left macOS in 2015ish. I briefly tried Ubuntu before but I wanted some newer versions of some software and I thought Arch would be a good way to learn about Linux (whatever that means). Since it worked for me I never really bothered trying anything else.

At work I basically have to choose between Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS. Everyone else seems so use Debian or Ubuntu. I gave Ubuntu another try but snap was acting up so now I'm using Debian.

I don't really have any strong opinions on various distros. I'm just happy I don't have to deal with WSL anymore which I had to for my previous job. :D

Arch is so good. I really enjoyed running it for a couple years, but then that grub issue last year made me look at other distros, eventually ending up on Fedora.

I'm coming home. Fedora just does wonky stuff on my computers. I haven't enjoyed it at all.

Debian on my homelab, Arch on my main. I'm done distrohopping.

I also spent quite a few years away from arch. Arch is also my home
Completely forgot about the grub issue. At some point I gave systemd-boot a try and never went back.
