This was possibly the most self-roasting way to fix the class (ttrpg.network)

I'm with you there having played it a bit. PF2 is cool, does a lot of stuff better than 5E, still has a few things that irk me. Like how training seems to outscale ability scores so fast that the latter is essentially irrelevant to any checks you make. But better than 5E.

Unfortunately 5E is the one that my friends know how to play, and I have not yet persuaded them to try other things. Ultimately I just want to have a game wth my friends, even if I think the specific game is a bit shit. I like the look of LevelUp's A5E a lot and borrow mechanics from it as "homebrew" in 5E quite often

I started a game of Fate this year and I'm pretty happy with it. It's less crunchy and tactical than D&D most of the time, but it handles social conflict and losing conflicts much better. And does other stuff I like.

I tried to get my old D&D group to play other games but it didn't go super well. In retrospect, there were game agnostic reasons why I didn't really gel with that group, so it's for the best I left. But I think converting people who only really play D&D and close relatives to something else is hard.
