That’s like eating exactly one potato chip.
Ohhhhh boy. I surfed over a thousand distro ISOs. Couldn't have just one.
... Now, for over a decade, I've calmed down. Settled down with Bedrock Linux. ;) (That's cheating!)
LOL, I've actually tried Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Puppy Linux, DSL, Tiny Core, and even the true outlier (not quite Linux or Unix though) Microsoft Xenix before. I've probably even tried a couple other distros before but only very briefly.
It takes effort to break them in any way that I can't manage to figure out how to fix.
I settled on Linux Mint as my daily runner, but one of these days I might have to give TempleOS a spin in a virtual machine..
Try an atomic distro too, if you haven't yet. It's a completely different experience from regular Linux - specially the ones that take care of everything for you like UBlue's.
As a chaos monkey, I haven't broken this atomic distro in a few years. It usually takes me less than a year to break my distro's package system beyond my comprehension (or something equally important, but it's usually the packages).
