I'm wondering what Linux distros my fellow soylentils use, and why.

I myself have loved Fedora since version 7, and never cared much for Debian systems. My desktops either run Fedora or a source-built XFCE system. What distros do you use, what architectures, and why do you use them? Are there any distros you wish were still around?

    Slackware on the headless server, rock solid and easy to manage for that situation, without a lot of GUI add-on dependencies. But for desktop use, Slack can turn into a headache, so I switched to Kubuntu for that. It works extremely well, and it's nice being able to install and update packages with a couple mouse clicks, even the ones that have tons of dependencies.
