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 Whatever for servers, usually ubuntu, though I’ve been tempted to use arch then too when dealing with out of date software.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