very stable - I haven't managed to break it yet

feels like there's a gui for everything

Arch Linux

- Great Wiki
  
  It just works comparing to other distros like Ubuntu
  
  My home PC for programming, I just love it
  
  I’m not a heavy gamer but games are much better on Arch Linux, including Steam Deck

Sometimes, I feel sick of such simplistic questions. They look like they're just for triggering people to response.

Alpine Linux Hyperbola OpenBSD

Last is not linux based though.

  If you want people to help you, it would be good if you weren't so condescending...

Arch

4
- Thanks to Pacman and the AUR there is an extensive list of apps to install very easily.
  
  And you don't have to keep the build dependencies on your system, so you have more disk space.
  
  4
- It's lightweight and efficient

  Arch is also not more lightweight than other distributions.
  
  With Arch, unlike other distributions, there are no extra dev packages. Thus, everything is present in a single package, so they require more storage space.
  
  Arch's packages also have fixed dependencies on other packages, which in turn have other dependencies. So you can't only install what you actually want, which is often claimed. For example, I would like to uninstall various Bluetooth packages, but I can't because they are dependencies for packages I use.
  
  The basic installation including base-devel requires more than 1 GB of storage space without the GUI. Some distributions need less including the GUI.

Personally, I currently prefer Arch for the following reasons.

AUR

The Wiki

The many vanilla packages

Because you can easily create your own packages with the PKBGUILD files.

Because, based on my own experience, Arch is quite usable despite the current packages.

If I had to choose another distribution, it would definitely be OpenSuse. Their rolling version, Tumbleweed, is also highly recommended.

Debian and FreeBSD

2
Fedora

2
- Better defaults than Ubuntu
  
  Stable enough for production servers
  
  I have many self hosted apps and containers and I have only a few issues time to time which is easily fixable

Zorin OS

2
- It is easily customizable (via a preinstalled app) and is intuitive for Windows and MacOS users.
  
  2
- It is a very clean and neat Linux distro.
  
  2
- There is no need to tweak anything to get it working

endeavourOS

arch + installer + an awesome community

spiral linux

debian + btrfs + snapper with snapshots in grub

I run it with sid and the snapshots are great if anything goes wrong with an upgrade

Debian

2
- It’s just stable and fast
  
  My 2 servers are running on debian for years without any single issue

Arch Linux

2
- More up to date software (mostly).
  
  4
- It offers choice for advanced users and developers.
  
  3
- Incapable of following simple instructions and using Arch? I doubt it.

  You should carefully review anything you install from AUR. No review happens there at all. Everyone can upload anything he likes.
