Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.

Rocky & RHEL
I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.
I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic
Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.
XCP-ng hypervisor main box for my VMs, mostly Ubuntu Server but some Alma Linux VMs too. TrueNAS Core for my NAS box.
Might start switching my VMs from Ubuntu Server to Debian soon, we'll see.
Windows 10 LTSC
Gentoo because it can do it all
Fellow Gentooer, Gentoo rocks!
OpenMediaVault
Armbian
Fedora core os (FCOS) vms on XCP-NG with trueNas for persistent storage. With FCOS, vms configurations can stay version controlled and deployed using open Tofu (terraform) and butane/ignition.
Rocky, but I'll probably give Debian a try next time I decide to nuke my install
I'm currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?

I see so much Debian and no Alpine?
3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM
TrueNAS SCALE as host with an Ubuntu LTS VM running Docker containers.
Original I went with only containers running on top of SCALE but both iX and TrueCharts made it harder to run plain Docker Compose on TrueNAS.
Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)
Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.
Any reason why?
I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.
I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they've been great
