Arch on 2 laptops, 2 VPSes and a minitower desktop (used as a home server).
So far everything good. On the servers, everything runs under docker, I just installed docker, nomad, consul and tailscale, which I'd have to add custom repositories for ubuntu anyway for basically the same end (except now I also have newer kernel).
Tried Debian and Ubuntu in the past, old packages (especially GUI applications, but other stuff too) often broke, and it sucked to just find that there's a fix but not in the repos - and so I had to add custom repositories for every other thing anyway.
