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.

    I am using Unix/Linux for over thirty years now, and the older I get, the more I like it simple.

    Debian with Arch in a VM, and Guix as extra package manager on top of both for programming projects. I use Debian for stable stuff and Arch for new stuff.

    Stumpwm as manual tiling window manager, or i3wm, or Sway if the first is not available. Somtimes GNOME.

    Emacs with language server (lsp-mode) for programming. Vim frequently at work for embedded tasks.

    Gollum wiki or Zim wiki for knowledge management.
