Job is CentOS based, so workstation is Fedora: Similar system structure with the convenience of current versions of desktop software. Fedora 32 is my current "work distro", with production hosts on CentOS 7 or 8. CentOS Stream is interesting, but the rate of package updates still seems slow compared to other rolling releases.
Did a lot of distro hopping out of curiosity this year, and while I see where the popularity of Arch comes from - especially the docs, but I seem to be prone to breaking it, usually around a package update. That is likely because it is being used as an experimental system, with more config changes than a work environment. Manjaro made that less of a trap for me, and it's DEs are very nicely configured, but I have killed it a time or two as well.
Have a Void VM (glibc) running and that has been really interesting - still on the first image I created with Xfce - and have not managed to get it into a non-bootable state. So far xbps has been very nice to work with, and there seem to bee fewer footguns than with Arch (given my experimental patterns). I'm hoping this distro finds more usage, eventually resulting in community maintained doc quality that would approach Arch.
