What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Arch.

I've done a reasonable amount of distrohopping, but I always come crawling back because I've never found anything that can compete with the AUR.

Haha yes, I have to stay out of arguments involving Snap vs Flatpak for this reason. I ended up leaving Mint through issues with my HTPC install - with Plex, the 'Home Theater' app died it's death, and options were tough to install - so I went for Arch, failed to get that working well, then tested KDE with Manjaro - bingo!

Until a couple of months ago, I was installing PlexHTPC via AUR which unpacked the snap and installed it - that's so awesome... though now it's dead so I had to jump onto the newly opened Flatpak option (AUR stuck at 1.30.1-1 whilst Flathub is up to 1.39.2).

After the PPA nightmares I had with 'buntu, and later with Mint (PPA's made for 'buntu often don't work) it's like a dream.

I haven't experienced an issue adding PPA's in about four years. The package manager simply does what it's meant to do and things just work.
