Oh I've been self-hosting since 2009, switched to Linux in 2011, finally ditched Windows as a daily driver last year when I picked up a Legion Go and got it loaded up with steam OS.

I've distro-hopped quite a lot between then and now, but funny enough I ended up landing where I started when recommending a newbie friendly distro: mint with kde plasma. That's my desktop daily driver now. I've tried bleeding edge in many different flavors and always end up finding I can start from a stable baseline and customize the kernel and modules as needed. Now I've got all my favorite emulators and recompiled games working flawlessly, and I've started working on a decomp of my own for an old Windows 98 game. I've already successfully ported it and fixed a few runtime bugs, trying to get it fully stable before I start remastering it in godot.

Server-side, I tend to stick with either Debian or Rocky and build on top of those.
