Favorite: still searching

First: Manjaro (actually went quite smooth...until it didn't. Still grateful to have it, might not switch if it didn't exist)

Current: Bazzite (immutable distros finally matured enough for me, works perfectly fine for non-gaming tasks as well as gaming)

Distro you liked the least: Ubuntu (was the reason I didn't get to Linux earlier and got only worse from there)

Distro you want to use in the future: Debian (needs to stop being so easily broken, it's a stability distro ffs)

Distro you used for the longest time: Fedora (generally a good experience, but doesn't play fantastically well with nvidia)

Distro everyone likes but I don't: Linux Mint. (Cinnamon is severely limited and looks dated to me, and it broke like a week into me using it. Not my choice, but apparently others have better experience)

Honorable mention: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (awesome stability and native rollbacks, but didn't fix a much highlighted update breaking nvidia drivers in two months, prompting me to reinstall; didn't ever face breaking issues with other hardware)

    I've been on Bazzite for a couple of years now, and I've started to just prefer the way it does things over mutable distros. It's so unbelievably stable.

    I went from EndeavourOS to Bazzite, and have no real desire to hop off of it.

    Probably not the only distro that could do it, but I was pleasantly surprised bazzite handled my three monitors with three different refresh rates, two different resolutions, one with HDR, and one in portrait mode basically right out of the box.

    I was personally amazed that it handles my ancient printer from the get-go. None of the other distros had the driver available, it had to be downloaded and installed separately. Here on Bazzite - complete plug & play.
