I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
For personal systems, I preferentially use Gentoo because I'm really picky about what I have installed and how the system is configured, and Gentoo gives you a lot of control over what actually gets installed and makes almost zero assumptions about how the system is configured. I've toyed with Arch/Manjaro before, but really don't like pacman for a number of reasons.
Depending on the exact use case though, I'll also use Debian (often but not always Sid, which I've actually never had any issues with), Alpine (when I need a tightly secured minimalist system) or on rare occasion a custom environment produced using Buildroot when I need a highly specific system and don't mind rebuilding the world to run updates.
