Used? Gentoo, Debian, Mepis, sidux, peppermint, mint, fedora, cachyos, puppy, damnsmall, evil entity, suse, opensuse, Slackware, arch, and who knows how many more.
Using right now: Debian, fedora, cachyos, opensuse, Slackware. Different distro depending on need and device.
Favorite? Real soft spot for mepis, it made it easy back in the day. Fedora right now: it always just works, there is nothing to do just update and move on. Also Debian. Because Debian.
Worst: Ubuntu. Such a piece of crap, always breaking since first release.
TBH I have trouble telling why so many people in this thread complain about Ubuntu breaking, it always Just Works™ for me. Did they form their opinion around 2010, or are they using the six-monthly releases? I always used Ubuntu LTS (and never the default desktop).
Started with their first release. So broken compared to everything else at that time.
Now on new releases to this day it still throws weird errors or doesnt work as expected AT INSTALL. Usually reboots will fix some of those issues, sometimes I don’t even know if they are real issues, but it just shows Canonical doesnt make a very good product.
Then sooner or later, with Canonical not able to keep an idea longer than 6 months, something else will break. Its just the Ubuntu way.
Seems like their server version is better, I can’t really complain about it. I don’t have to interact with it much, but it behaves a lot better.
Also, Xbuntu and Kbuntu somehow fared better than Ubuntu, much less problems.
First? Redhat.

People are/were actually using the default Ubuntu desktop, and modern Gnome in general? In a fediverse linuxmemes community?
Granted, it still doesn’t speak well for them if their default desktop has so many issues that don’t exist on the flavors.
