I use arch, btw

Talk about Linux, macOS, Windows, maybe TempleOS?

I want to start an openSUSE hype train. I installed the tumbleweed version, and I am now a huge fan. The package manager seems to require the terminal, but it is pretty nice. Rolling release like arch, but also stable.

Alright, I'm gonna say it.

Ubuntu is underrated.

I hadn't used it in years but I was testing something and... it was like really really stable. And well supported... and that's literately all I need out of an OS.

So I switched back to Ubuntu. Don't @ me, I know there are way more fun distros out there but I'm not here for fun, I'm here for function (I still plan on having fun with VMs and such with ProxMox, but you know what I mean).
Be kind and patient with each other!

While I am still a Windows user, I do try a lot of Linux distros.
So far, openSUSE Tumbleweed was the one I liked the most and it stayed that way for a couple of years.

They managed to make a stable rolling-release distro, they utilize BTRFS very well (especially with snapshots), they use the well-established RedHat base. My only criticism would be that the package manager seems to be a bit slow and I had to integrate this to make it quicker. It does not seem to work well with Packman packages, so you'd still have to fully use zypper for these.

This might help some people: I had to switch from download.opensuse.org to cdn.opensuse.org for the much faster Fastly CDN (it has the closest server to me). I could only do it for most of the mirrors, but not a huge deal.

Not a beginner distro, but if you have some knowledge of Linux and you haven't tried openSUSE yet, I would recommend having a go at it.

Based Ubuntu enjoyer. Honestly Ubuntu is a great option. The Linux that works for you is the best Linux, that's what I say!

While all the Statements about Ubuntu are True, Ubuntu is still not underrated.
It is quite Literally the King of the Linux Desktop. It is the most Commonly used Linux Distro.

I'm actually running EndeavourOS on my "iPad"*. Its a pretty nice distro based on arch, and it runs all the apps i actually need. Its also comes with the KDE desktop by default. Which is in my opinion the best desktop environment

* Its actually a HP x360 book. In which i call a iPad for simplicity to my family
