If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?

Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less “Canonical”-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).

Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people’s experiences, there are no wrong answers.

Edit: Thanks for the lots of interesting answers and discussions. I will try a few of the suggestions in a VM.

        What about software compatibility? Its already not amazing on linux it would be even worse on bsd. I guess that is only an issue for you if its an issue for you.

          What software do you -need- to work?

          Going into it with the mindset of finding the linux workflow instead of forcing your prior workflow is the path of (least resistance|greatest productivity)

            I’ll stop bothering you with my pesimism towards bsd and actually dedicate some time to reaearching it properly when my adhd inspires me to.

            My current belief of it is that it is linux with less community support, less software support, less active development and just a worse overall experience.

            Im sure Im wrong but its probably better for me to do my own research than get everything from you when the information is already available.
