What do you like about your Linux Distro?
I use Fedora 38, it's stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

Gentoo. Great rolling release that is stable and had timely updates, but has the flexibility to configure my system down to the tiniest details, with a great and knowledgable community. I love source-based distros and Gentoo is definitely the best.
Had to scroll too far to find Gentoo.
Does source-based mean you need to build every package from scratch? How long does it take to update? Do you use it on a laptop or desktop?
Yes, though there are some prebuilt binaries for large packages. I use gentoo on a desktop and updates don't take too long, minutes. Big updates that cause lot of packages to rebuild can take hours.
