Linux user since 1992 (with FreeBSD interruption from 1996-2004), started with slackware (actually with minix and the first 0.9 kernel), moved to Gentoo in 2004, and Arch linux since 2007. Gentoo was too much work (both for my and for my CPU’s) in the long run. It has been more predictable (in spite of being a rolling release) for me than anything else,

Nice, I'll post mine as a reply since it's very similar :) Work: when I started we were Centos/RHEL with some Debian, then pivoted to primarily Debian, now we have pivoted to Ubuntu. Work Desktop: Besides obligatory Windows I have been on Gentoo +KDE for the last 10 years, but the Chromium portage build times as well as some weird performance degradation finally became too much and I just recently switched to NixOS (with newer hardware). Home Server: Slackware/Gentoo for a while starting in the mid 2000's, then stuck with FreeBSD for over a decade. Since then I've just happy with Raspian on an rpi, but looking at switching it to NixOS Home Desktop: Wasn't much of a category for me and usually just a Windows junkie at home, but recently been very pleased with SteamOS
