I mostly live in the BSD family of Unixes: FreeBSD, OpenBSD and macOS. I donāt use Linux very much. But when I do, I choose good olā Debian.

If I had a choice about which linux to use Iād take a long look at nix.
But I donāt so I just deal with whatever the work gods decree. They are all horrible in their own ways.

Ubuntu LTS all the way on my computer (with Gnome desktop) and on all our servers, I like Arch though and Antergos looks interesting but I doubt Iāll ever switch.
If Iām not mistaken my system works since version 10.04 without having to reinstall it (even when dual booted Windows did itās best to kill GRUB or defile partitions), that stability is worth a lot to me

Same for me. Full two days on Antergos and Iām loving the AUR. So far so good!

Anyone using a Linux VM, with a Desktop Environment, on their mac? Does the Mac OS get in the way (of keyboard shortcuts) too much? Iād love to go back to using a tiling WM and I want to mess with buildroot. How is the trackpad? Maybe the trackpad wouldnāt matter too much if I had XMonad.

The VMs are dead, long live docker

Docker is built on poor abstractions, long live Jails and Containers.

I personally use Slackware. Aside from Linux, I also use OpenBSD (in particular, itās what I prefer for servers and non-x86 workstations), and I have a machine that runs Haiku.

Not poor abstraction docker is part of https://www.opencontainers.org/

Except its format is highly designed for a specific method of doing containers, it is not very extensible.
Like Illumos has a Docker layer on top of their Containers that people can use, but it lacks a lot of the capabilities the actual containers have, while being interestingly harder to use too. ^.^

Iāll eat my hat if I can run a desktop environment in a Docker container -conveniently, with mouse, video, etcā¦

Hmm, unsure about running an X client, but you could definitely run an X server in a container.

I havenāt tried this, but why do you need full desktop ?

I used Ubuntu a long time now (~10 years), and after a discussion with a co-worker it felt as if I had to do a switch. He tried to convince me about arch, but after we had some trouble getting WiFi on my small laptop up and running I pulled THAT switch, formatted it completely and tried to install Funtoo.
WiFi wasnāt easy but worked in the end. Installation of everything else took a while though 
System was usable after about a week. I played around and pulled the exact same switch on my other laptop. I knew already some important things, also it has more power, so I was able to have it usable in only 2 days.
Chances are very good to stick with Funtoo for another 10 years at least

Iām using Linux Mint 17, as itās very comfortable for me - itās powered by debian, but GUI is very attractive and easy to use for Windows users (ask my wife about that ).
Btw: Recently I had to install linux distro on my friendās old netbook and I tested a bunch of them - Lubuntu, Peppermint, Linux Mint and finally I stayed with Point Linux 3.2.2 with Mate.
Funny fact: On some of the distros 720p movies had serious issue with rendering, on Point Linux everything was smooth.
At this moment, Elementary OS. Planning to switch to Arch.
Iāve been using gentoo for many years, until it got ā¦ bad.
I really enjoyed working with FreeBSD.
But my favorite Linux distro is Debian.
Iām using at home Archlinux with Gnome 3 and Iām very happy with this setup. But at work Iām using OS X.

I currently use either Ubuntu or Arch and have two Raspbian boards.
In the past Iāve used Gentoo, Slackware and RedHat.
