Opensuse Tumbleweed after the whole Red Hat situation i started looking for similar distros as i really liked Fedora went to Opensuse Tumbleweed had no issues almost as if i never switched distros (obviously package manager is slightly different but not too hard to get used to honestly) i mean i can even still install Rpms

My favorite and the longest I’ve used was Antergos until they stopped maintaining it. At the time, it was the most popular Arch-with-an-installer distro. Before that, I was a fan of Peppermint OS simply because it was a beautiful looking distro. I’m currently running Mint because I don’t have time to maintain an OS and I just want something that works. It’s pretty good I’d say.

Windows. Everything is straight forward and I can still make some custom or niche stuff work.

I don't like Linux, because a lot of programs don't work, and I don't want to create my own 3D application or DAW from scratch. Not worth my time.

I don't like Apple because the money I'd put into that I'd rather put to better use.

All three of your answers are (wrong) stereotypes.

If you did not recommend arch, you basically recommended poop on a stick

My favorite is chromeOS because it requires zero maintenance and I can access all my data, apps, and preferences in minutes on any compatible device by just signing into my account.
