PopOS!

It's supposed to be good for gaming, but a lot of its packages (including the video drivers) are outdated af because it's based on Ubuntu, so you may have to wait months for a mesa patch that makes a game playable while on Arch I can just install mesa-git and play.

I also don't like the Gnome interface and the fact that it casually encourages installing proprietary software, but that's not relevant given its target audience.

Yeah, I get it, it's a distro for novices so obviously it won't go all freetard on you for installing nvidia drivers, but the fact that it's so outdated is absolutely inexcusable and can drive users away because games that are marked as playable on steam may not even launch.

anything with GNOME or xfce. modern cinnamon is ok ig but KDE plasma just makes anything bearable for me

Fedora, as someone who uses mostly Arch and the AUR, I couldn't get used copr, flatpak, and dnf. I rather just use yay.

manjaro.

Fedora. Fedora is solid, but coming from arch I felt it was lacking so much in the way of the package repos and doing things like secure boot was more effort than it was worth.

MicroOS. I didn't switch from losedows to still have my PC restart on me while I was working. Also, it kinda broke and was annoying to configure, and had way too little documentation.

Opensuse. Did absolutely nothing wrong but I just didn't vibe with it. Went to fedora and I vibe hard with it

I'm currently using Linux Mint as well. I tried Garuda out and I did really like it, but the rolling release kept breaking NVIDIA.

I used Ubuntu back in the day but it sucks now. Snaps are the devil's work.

i run arch on my surface

my dell runs kubuntu, but i plan to move it to arch as well (after i back up my data)

i liked it for a while and suddenly had tons of issues with snap, especially with firefox, and webusb breaking constantly on chromium (i use android flash tool a lot)
