I never thought about it before but I use upstream and downstream without much though. For my personal devices and containers I use Fedora but when it comes to servers and VMs I use Debian for its stable nature.
I also run Linux mint in my homelab with pcie pass though so it functions like a normal desktop.
Only reason why that is weird to me, is just how much better Linux is. I’m too old to give a removed about a fanboy mentality. Linux used to be something you suffered through in order to get a tradeoff only available to power users. Now, my 90 year old grandmother has an easier time with Linux. It’s more consistent, and doesn’t break stuff nearly as often.
A more controversial take, is that I feel the same about MacOS. It was a lot of work in order to reduce how often it is annoying.
