What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Ubuntu gnome. Wanted to install a gnome add on (hibernation button), searched how to do it and learned there’s a section in the gui store but couldn’t find it. Searched for that and turns out they removed the add ons section from the store in the latest version and I need to use a browser. Tried to install it from a browser and it still didn’t work. Tried the other browser and failed again. Searching for that discovered that the pre-installed browsers are snap packages and can’t interact with anything else 🤦

Instantly switched to kubuntu. It had the hibernation button out of the box

Anything that isn’t debian-like. I’m just very used to It and can’t make myself learn anything else.

I’ve messed with a decent amount, listed in my post. Most distros weren’t customized the way that I wanted them to be or I didn’t like the looks so I prefer Debian and Arch for simplicity’s sake depending on the use case and going from there.

Fedora Core. It had so many problems updating. That would have been in the mid 2000s so it may have improved since then.

GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.
