Any suggestions on the best all-rounder OS? Is Raspberry Pi OS still the better option?

Its been so long since I ran this. Pi4, 8gb for reference.

What do your mean, never usb? How else can you connect a ssd?

Ah, I meant never boot from a USB flash drive. Obviously use the USB ports but SSD is the fastest, then microSD, then regular USB.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought there might be a major issue using usb for booting a ssd. I have all these things available. I kinda want to give myself the raspberry pi desktop tool challenge.
