This is the most accurate chart I have seen so far; I can relate to all of them except NixOS, because I have tested it only briefly in a container.
I first settled on Ubuntu and than moved from that along the chart and I am know in the Debian phase for my main distro after ~10 years with Gentoo.
For others I recommend Fedora or Debian depending on their needs and skill. Arch has no place for me anymore. I can live with Ubuntu on servers, if someone else had it already installed, but I would never use it on a desktop. But Debian is a default on servers/VMs for me, too. And: I can see, why people choose rocky on servers. I am partly responsible for some rocky servers and they seem to behave nicely.
