What do you like about your Linux Distro?
I use Fedora 38, it's stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

Arch Linux because it has sane defaults, is rolling, up to date, helpful community, awesome wiki and is minimalistic.

Sane defaults?

Yeah, it has almost no defaults, allowing you to tailor the installation to your needs.

That really depends on your definition of "sane defaults." Even a lot of the computer science professionals I work with wouldn't consider Arch Linux defaults as sane. I picture sane defaults to include a lot more basic functionality that Arch doesn't have out of box (automatic suspend, desktop environment, lock screen, etc.).
I use Arch for the exact same reason you do though. Once you get past the tedious stuff like setting up your networking stack, setting up idle suspend, etc. it's nice to choose whatever WM/DE you want and customize it how you want.
