This is definitely not a Shitpost. Pick a Linux distro and advertise it for me.

(wanted something else than Ubuntu or Mint for my laptop that BinBos destroyed)

Let's see, Debian 12 is impressive. I got that running on my ancient PC in my home office. For a long time, Mint was my go-to recommendation for a new Linux user and I ran it on my main PC for years. Although, with Canonical (Ubuntu) going the way they're going, I'd have probably switched from MInt to LMDE by now if I stayed with it. For that matter, MXLinux is an excellent Debian based distro but, Debian 12 being as good as it is, I think I'd still go with Debian 12 today. If I were setting up PCs for use by students or some other group, I think I'd go with Fedora (assuming the whole kerfuffle with RHEL doesn't impact it).

....these days, on my personal "daily driver" PC, I run EndeavourOS. It's basically Arch but easy to install and very nicely set up out of the gate. Friendlier community than Arch as well. It's basically Arch for people who don't need to go minimalist on the install and/or flex about installing Arch.
