On another post somewhere, someone said "It shouldn't be a crime if it's objectively hilarious".
I think that applies here.

My ex started as a Production Assistant in the Vancouver Film Industry. She mostly worked on the CW shows and those terrible Hallmark holiday movies that get constantly filmed there. Being a PA was a little like being everyone's bitch, so she eventually made her way into the account department of the same hiring company that managed the PAs.
She had her share of good experiences and plenty of asshole stars.
The president's limo will be there on the front lawn, up on blocks with it's wheels and hood missing. A few barrels will be interspresed with fire for warmpth.
Trump will be seated on a beaten up old lawn chair, the kind that your parents had in the 70s and never got around to replacing. To his right there's a styrofoam cooler; the kind you get at a gas station when your heading out fishing with your pa. It's filled with Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Melania will put her hair up in a Peggy Bundy beehive and squeeze her aging ass into pair of daisy dukes and cowboy boots.
Joe Rogan appears and kneels before Trump before the match begins. But instead of kissing a ring, it's a beer tab.
The festivities begin with Kid Rock catterwalling out what he thinks is the national anthem, but is actually just a bunch of random lyrics he put together during the last time he blacked out.
Dean Cain is the "celebrity" referee for the match and Kevin Sorbo is there to provide some colour commentary alongside Rogan.
Due to the unpopularity of all of them, no one wants to volunteer to be the people in the match, so it eventually Trump sends ICE out to round up some homeless people and it quickly devolves into bumfights_dot_com
It'll be great!
Yay! Bullied tech nerds no longer have to bring their own gun! That's convenient for them.
Free market, bitch.
Before he dies, I want just one single reporter during a Q&A session to stand up and ask "Yes, Mr. President. What the FUCK are you talking about?"
Even his most brain-dead sycophant supporters have to be aware by now that when he uses the phrase "a lot of people", he means "no body"
I don't think you're wrong at all.
But there's an element of "Cult of Personality" with Trump. I don't think anyone else can turn all of that hatred to a common cause the way that he has. And I think a lot of that has to do with being the poor man's idea of what a rich man is. Even back in the 80s/90s. You didn't see other billionaires cameo'ing in Home Alone 2. Or creating the Apprentice.
He cultivated an image of what "rich" looked like to gullible americans, then sic'd them on his enemies once he had the power to do so. Yes these people are racist. Yes these people are stupid. Yes these people are hate-filled assholes. But up until Trump, they were also largely being assholes in their own homes, making their families miserable instead of the rest of us.
It took Trump to give them permission to bring their shit out in public. And once he dies, I don't think anyone else in the GOP has the same cult of personality to carry it on. I think a number of people will try, and the GOP will devolve into internecine chaos.
Only a matter of time...
Wait...people actually bring office partitions to starbucks???
In terms of how you interact with it day to day, no. And that's because the Distro in that sense matters less than the desktop environment. Since DEs are fundamentally distro agnostic, most distros give a person the option for multiple choices in that regard, so it doesn't really matter if you're using Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.... what matters from a usage perspective is if you're using KDE, or Gnome, or XFCE, etc...
Under the hood there's a lot of differences in how each one chooses to do things, but I wouldn't call one of them better or worse than any other and for the most part can be ignored.
My advice would be narrow it down to one choice; and that's your package manager. That's really where most of the difference lies. Find the one that you find easiest to use (Apt, Pacman/Pamac, DNF, Zypper) and that's where you land until you're comfortable.
