Linux Mint for me.

How is it ? How long do you have been using it ?

Do you use Cinnamon or Mate ?

Would somebody recommend Mint KDE as environment ?

Seems to be good looking ;

CentOS has been rock solid for me the last 10 years.

How is it ? How long do you have been using it ?

4 years. Pretty solid, stable and lite on resources.

Do you use Cinnamon or Mate

Cinnamon.

CentOS has been rock solid for me the last 10 years.

As desktop?

Linux Mint user for many years, I prefer cinnamon as well.
KDE feels slows and bloated.

I use Fedora as my desktop workstation.

Simply a stock install with Gnome. Nothing crazy.

Have been running CentOS for ages, and have never experienced problems. Have had servers with uptime of well over 1000 days with CentOS. I'd say that's pretty stable.

CentOS and some debian. Linux Mint for desktop.

For me, desktop distro preferences tend to change from time to time. I'd use whatever tickles you the most

 

[Rusty Snippets]

Linux Mint here. Cinnamon.

Define work?

Ubuntu is probably the largest, stable, desktop style linux distribution.

Either Centos or Debian would be the two preferred free options for servers.

If paid, then Redhat, obviously.

I've been using Elementary OS. It's similar visually to Mac OS and is built on Ubuntu for its foundation. It depends on what you need for work, though. You mentioned Mac OS in the OP, so thought I'd throw this out there. heh.

Provided an image for how it is coming out of the box on the left and then my personal configuration on the right below.

I've tried it many times including the latest version but it's buggy and unstable.
Looks is 10/10 perfect.

As desktop?

No, as Web/DB server. I don't use Linux on my desktop. I use MacOS.
If I would use Linux on the desktop I would probably go for Fedora because it has a recent kernel (good for btrfs) and many other new things.
