Iām testing Solus 3 on my laptop atm, and normally boot my Xeon workstation with Ubuntu 16.04 with a mirrored ZFS setup for storage. (and a mixture of a few other drives, with a SSD boot).
And most of the time when running Linux on the workstation, I just use the i3 tiling window manager.
One of these days Iād like to upgrade my hardware to something more modern, since Iām using a E3-1230v2 CPU atm.
Linux? No thanks. Only the finest FreeBSD for me.

Nothing wrong with *BSD, Iāve tested it out several times as a desktop. Itās not even close to doing streaming, games nor most things popular todayā¦ and I grew up on Unix prior to FreeBSD even existing. FreeNAS is awesome though. 
Right tool for the job I suppose.
Remind me was it Linux or FreeBSD that is being used on a popular modern gaming console? In all seriousness, you can certainly play games on FreeBSD. Wine works reasonably well, Iām told. I donāt do streaming or gaming myself, so I donāt miss anything on that front.
On the other hand, from my perspective Linux is lacking plenty in the departments I do care about. I didnāt come here to start a flame war though.

Manjaro i3 edition on both laptop, and [recently] desktop. Not to derail, but I came close to being completely burnt out on Linux after all the horseshite I went through trying to dual boot my desktop. Iāve gotten it to work, but man. What a fucking awful slog it is sometimes. Iām still not fond of the āā""ācommunityā"""" as it were, either.
Desktop: Mint 18.2 with cinnamon and 4.12.7 kernel
Workstation: Debian 9 Stable with Gnome
Other work machines: CentOS , and Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.xā¦
CentOS for storage
Centreon on CentOS for monitoring
Raspian on my Pi2
Proxmox for my VMs
CentOS for my Iptables router/firewall
Ubuntu for my wifes laptop
Hopefully QubesOSā¦ soonā¢ for my laptopā¦

manjaro xfce running latest kernel on my lenovo t61p
retropie on my rpi3
debian based chip os on my pocket c.h.i.p.
ive given up totally on all things windows/apple in my life, have had a lot less issues since i switched, especially with transferring files having actual admin control of the device rather than fake windows owner
Desktop: Fedora 26 Workstation using Gnome 3.24.3, Kernel 4.12.5
Laptop: Also using Fedora 26 Workstation but with i3 instead of Gnome.
Server: CentOS 7
Backup Server: Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS
Also have a couple of Raspberry Pis, most are headless and all Raspbian with one using PIXEL.
Desktop: Void with Cinnamon & Herbstluftwm, booting into Win or OsX when needed.
BananaPi: OpenSuse tumbleweed, headless
Pi: laying around with retropie now
Server: Debian stable, headless
Does Void still get worked on? I have looked at it more than once and it seemsā¦ dead.
No wait I was thinking of Vector.
Void last release was in February. though do be aware it doesnāt use Systemd. honestly though check if the Package manager for that distro has your favorite packagesā¦ a lot of these obscure distros donāt seen to have the guds.
I guess you mean the installer isos? Yes, those were in february, but as a rolling release model theyāre just there to get you installed.
Although they are a bit conservative, so they are not running the latest bleeding edge, stuff is still getting updates almost daily.
yes.
a lot of the obscure distros are which is somewhat irritating. for example Gentoo is still using GNOME 3.22. 3.24 is has been listed as unstable for since April. though to be fair Gentoo barely has maintainers for the GNOME packages. Arch Linux is more more āRolling Releaseā than just about any of the Rollign Release Distros.
