I'm currently dual-booting Solus. I was looking for a rolling release with frequently updated, stable packages (so no Debian Sid), and Solus was the top-rated rolling release distribution at the time. It's young and still a little rough around the edges, but it's a decent enough OS.
I do miss Debian's packages, though. Nearly every source repository will list dependencies under Debian's (and possibly Fedora's) package names. When a project depends on 20+ libraries and you have to manually search the package lists for whatever the Solus maintainers decided to call each one, it can add hours to the process of getting even simple projects to a compilable state.
*cough* #firstworldproblemsI also use WSL (Bash on Windows, woo) and Linux Mint in a VM when I need to test things and am feeling too lazy to reboot. Mint's
alright, but it has a lot of the clutter that caused me to start disliking Ubuntu.
I’m on Debian purely because I got to Linux via the raspberry pi, which kinda ‘ships’ with a debian based OS.
I quite like it.
Not going to lie, even though it's incredibly barebones, out of all the flavors of Linux I've tried Raspbian remains my favorite. And not just because I was stuck using it for a few months and developed Stockholm Syndrome.
It was designed to run on barebones hardware, so it lacks a lot of the bells and whistles of the more advanced distros. I personally like that it only does what I tell it to, when I tell it (looking at you, Ubuntu), while remaining simple to setup and modify (looking at you,
<insert "minimal" distro here>).
