that’s one of the reasons i think Lenovo has won the laptop war, they include all operating systems and make it very easy to install any on your device, i love Ubuntu a lot, and chromeOS too

      I prefer Mint for ease of installation and use. It comes in Ubuntu or Debian flavors.

      I also have a RaspberryPi that runs Raspbian (Debian based, I think) and a tiny Linode server that runs Debian. Honestly, I tend to go with the easiest or most lightweight, depending on hardware.

          I hear you about finite brain cells. I had a group of international students several year ago who ran Zorin on their laptops. As the tech coordinator for our academic department, I tried to learn enough to help them out. But it was apparently the first thing I flushed after they left. :)

      Personally, I use Fedora KDE Spin because it’s stable, has an aggressive update schedule and if I want something from AUR or something, I’ll just use its OCI in distrobox and get it anyway. I also prefer flatpaks over snaps.
