These days I almost exclusively use Ubuntu, largely because the free release and the LTS release are exactly the same thing, and are released on a predictable schedule. I used to do mostly CentOS, and liked it, but having to have it at arms length from RedHat did introduce some problems and uncertainty. Debian (and I know some argue this, but I don't agree) doesn't have an LTS release.
I run it on my desktop, laptop, and servers. Nice having the same OS on them all. I can build packages and test things on my laptop, with an eye towards production. Our developers all use Windows.
On the horizon: NixOS. Though I haven't really looked at it seriously.
Remember installing Slackware. Installed their Slackware on DOS partition when I was in 8th grade. Had no idea what I was doing... Moved to FreeBSD in 9th grade because it was a more cohesive operating system.
