This thread should be renamed Hackers' Paradise ;-P
Not every Linux user is a hacker but I am pretty sure every Linux user has at least once tried to watch a cyber security course and every Linux user stumbled upon network Chuck at least once and has tried some of the default networking Linux tools at least once lmao :D

I use Debian GNU/Linux Trixie (I stay on the testing channel). For my window manager and desktop environment I use Emacs with EXWM and desktop-environment-mode. My shell is Fish (https://fishshell.com/).

If you're an Emacs user, I highly recommend trying out EXWM, and I highly recommend trying out Fish regardless. Fish is objectively the best shell, which is why I'm surprised it's not more popular. Probably because it's not compatible with POSIX sh, but POSIX sh has problems that Fish doesn't. And of course you can still use /bin/sh for portable scripts.

NixOS (https://nixos.org/) - if you don't know about it, I highly recommend taking a look at their website. Fair warning: after using NixOS, you may not be able to use almost any other Linux distribution without being annoyed by configuration. The learning curve is also quite steep (you do have to learn their homegrown configuration language, which like all programming/markup/configuration languages, is horrifying in some ways).

I stay on the nixos-unstable channel. NixOS has the ability to roll back package versions and configurations by selecting an option in the boot menu, so aside from deleting the boot loader it's fairly difficult to break NixOS.

I use Hyprland, waybar, tofi, kitty, and Zsh.
