What I’ve used so far:

  1. Ubuntu
  2. KDE neon
  3. Linux Mint
  4. Debian

I don’t really like the MacOS feel, so things like ElementaryOS are not an option. I’m eyeing Pop!_OS though, but maybe there are less known distros that are worth a try. Suggestions?

    Ohh okay, might give an Arch based distro a try then. Not Manjaro though, I don’t like the project leaders after the whole treasurer fiasco.

      You will probably have a bad time with anything other than Manjaro coming from Ubuntu, especially normal Arch.

      I would say give Manjaro a try first and only of you like arch based stuff switch to something else later.

      And IMHO the treasurer story was a storm in the waterglass issue that really was much less problematic than some people claim.

        That treasurer story was also just one of several shitty stories, though. Other dumb things they’ve done in the past years:

        • Let their certificates expire twice and told their users to “fix” it by setting back their system clocks.
        • Ship the proprietary FreeOffice by default (before backlash made them introduce a selection dialog in the installer).
        • Recently, the Manjaro Cinnamon Community Edition decided to ship the proprietary Vivaldi Browser by default. That is not a decision made by the official Manjaro distribution, but I still feel like that represents the general direction you should expect. And personally, I would want my distribution to at least reserve the right to audit the web browser that they recommend to me.
