Nobara on the Desktop, Pop OS on the Laptop and the Surface (needs a custom kernel though). I'd use Nobara on everything but I am too lazy to switch.

Fedora, itβs running great on my older ThinkPad
Gentoo is my prefered distro.
I started with Fedora, then gave a few looks outside, now when I use Linux, it's 99% Ubuntu/Mint 1% Zorin (to show the similarities with Windows and explain how easy can be for an old newbie used to Win)
I keep trying different distros, but I keep coming back to Mint. It's just the right mix of user friendly and customisable for me.
Kubuntu
"I was a windows user and am trying Linux, but I am not afraid of hiding the fact that i was once a windows user."
Not saying this is bad ofc, just saying this as a joke π€£

I recently just set up Mint on a virtual machine. I had the iso image and I knew how it's easy for me to get around, so I did it only to find the program I was looking for isn't what I thought it was. It's kinda my main go to for Linux work on a virtual machine because of how hassle free it tends to be for me.
That VM was made after I made the mistake of making a Liya one but not putting enough memory into the virtual hard disk.
I'm currently waiting to upgrade computers before I make the full jump since I already have everything set up just fine on my desktop, but I'm definitely thinking of starting with Mint for a general easy to use start or going to endeavourOS since I have some experience with that. (That's subject to change if I try more distros on virtual machines and find one I really like...)
Linux Mint on Desktop, Arch on my laptop
I've settled on Manjaro with KDE on my current laptop. On my next one, I'll probably move to plain Arch. Alpine is quite cool as well.
My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It's an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.
Arch
Arch, Suse Micro os and Fedora silverblue. I would like to add gentoo but by beard is not long enough.
