I'm using Manjaro for my desktop and laptop. If I had to pick a new distro today, I'd likely give EndeavourOS a try. But Manjaro has been working well for me for a several years now, does everything I want with little drama, and issues have been few. So I'm a happy camper and I'll keep on using it.
I have a home server that has been running Debian Stable since the mid-2000's or so. It just chugs right along, so complaints are few. Though occasionally having to deal with the old versions of some of the packages on it can be annoying.
I just gave up on Manjaro. It kept giving me intermittent Wi-Fi, driver, and update issues which almost nuked my interview for the job I have today (having technical issues during your tech job interview isn't a great look) . I don't mind an occasional issue or doing some research, but it felt a little too regular w Manjaro.

So now I'm on openSUSE LEAP, and have had a much smoother experience overall. Shit just works. The only change I'd consider atm is switching to tumbleweed.****
Also I've got an old laptop running Ubuntu as a media server. It works well
