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.

    Arch Linux for desktop. Whatever for servers, usually ubuntu, though I’ve been tempted to use arch then too when dealing with out of date software.

    1. Software is always up to date
      • instead of old with security backports which have always kind of skeeved me out
      • so upstream issue systems are relevant
      • so I get new features without having to wait
    2. When I have to turn a wrench the wiki and forums are amazing
    3. I feel like I control my system
