What's your favourite Linux distribution and why?

Wish we could do polls on here not sure if we can yet? It would make it so much easier to see everyones choices :)
Frankly, when I started using Ubuntu 10.04, I was just looking for an OS which runs on a low end machine!! Now, we're inseparable!!
Linux Mint all the way. I love it as I could convince many windows users to change to Linux Mint. Has auto update, auto delete old kernel, basically takes care of itself.
Pop OS! it is easy to install developer friendly and drivers
I go with Debian. As others have said Ark wiki is great even if slightly off for Deb based distro.
I've tried fedora and suse back in the day, but couldn't stand them.
Solus Linux. Fast, rolling and stable. And overall simple.
Mint , for it's simplicity, user friendly and last the closer to windows
KDE Neon
Archlinux all the way.
I just love all the building of packages and simple searching. Arch wiki is the most useful thing ever created as well.
I have multiple
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed sits on my desktop. I find it to be the most stable rolling release I've ever used. Everything on OpenSUSE is streamlined too so things that would usually take a few minutes from an admin perspective, only take a few seconds. I also prefer zypper to all other package managers, though software selection can be sparse leading me to have to hunt down packages every once and a while. Also, not a fan of them blacklisting filesystems by default, but I get why they did it and respect that choice
On my laptop however, I run Manjaro. Primarily because of the issue I just mentioned. Literally everything can be found in the AUR and when I'm out and about that's pretty important as my laptop is critical to everything I do as a student. I just don't have time to hunt packages down. I need them in an instant a lot of the time and Manjaro makes my life easier in that regard
If I didn't need more up to date packages though, I'd probably be using Mint. Mint just seems to work the way I need it to. Biggest problem with Mint is they always delay the release of their KDE spin
