    I don’t like Canonical and Red Hat, so I wouldn’t use their distros out of principle. On top of that, I don’t like Snaps, and Ubuntu’s customizations done to GNOME.

    From Fedora, I don’t like Calamares. The rest is great.

    Manjaro doesn’t play nice with either upstream nor downstream and has GTK apps that don’t follow GNOME’s design guidelines, this last point also applies to Endeavor OS.

    Vanilla OS is unusable for me, AB Root is hard, and I can’t follow any online guides, tutorials or scripts. But their UX/UI is drool worthy. Blend OS has Waydroid out of the box but it’s immutability is hard for me.

    Debian is awesome but I don’t like it for my work / gaming rig. Old kernel and packages. Best ever for servers.

    All Ubuntu derivatives are old for me, so no. But I liked Zorin the best.

    Deepin, I’m afraid of Chinese gov backdoors. Most probably paranoia.

    I settled on Crystal Linux (arch based), has the nicest UI but they don’t provide a GUI for package management, and they have handled their repos irresponsibly. It’s more of a hobby distro, but a beautiful one.
