MX Linux. It is a debian based, but uses custom scripts and programs from Antix and Mepis that make it super lovely to use.
It strips out systemd and does a lot of work to make popular programs usable that requires it.
Yet, I can still boot into it with systemd turned on, which is useful and more necessary than I like, increasingly so.
I think systemd is fine though. Linux is not unix, variation is healthy and despite what people say I always found it solid.
MX uses XFCE, which I love, and the desktop has some really smart defaults like putting the panel on the side instead of top or bottom, which gives back vertical real estate.
EDIT: I also use macOS iOS. My mom is a dedicated Apple user and I inherit her stuff whenever she upgrades, which is less frequently because I convinced her that what she has is basically overkill for her use cases, ans she does not need the newest thing.
Anyways, I love my iPad Pro. I don't care if Apple is evil, I got it for free and I reading PDFs on it is a goddamn pleasure.
The MacBook Air is the perfect laptop. Large laptops are just heavy and makes me not want to take them anywhere. Glad I learned that lesson.
