I run my own nameservers, mailserver, and webserver. As well as a couple of apps for file sharing and network management. Most of it runs off a HP machine I was allowed to screw into a rack of the datacenter my part-time job occupies. Some of it on local machines, notably a raspberry pi.
I only use them authoritatively for the internal LAN-domain. I have hosted my external domains in the past, but most TLDs require a redundant DNS setup that I could at best fake, so I just leave that to an external ISP. Currently they're pi-hole servers using a local pdns-recursor as upstream for maximum privacy.
Haven't used it on the desktop since forever. On servers I use a mix of AlmaLinux and Ubuntu.
This might sound really dumb, but what do you mean by "on servers"?

Authoritative or just recursive?

Cool. I also run pihole at home, using unbound as the recursor.
I have 3 VPS' so I can (and do) run bind9 for authoritative for my external domains.
