You have a lot of options

-Linux Mint: the default choice, nothing wrong with it, however not the best when it comes to gaming or if you have multiple monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates.

-ZorinOS: Looks good, but can take some time to get used to it and doesn’t have the multi monitor issues of Linux mint, however it is on the heavier side of Linux distros.

-Fedora/Nobara: the 2 are basically the same with one another, but nobara is more gaming-focused. They will also take some time to get used to how they work, but are in my experience generally snappier and more responsive.

No matter which distro you choose, remember, don’t think of Linux the same way you think of windows, think of it as desktop android, as in you download stuff from the distro’s app store and not off of the internet, unless necessary.

Generally they don’t really mention it outside special occasions, and then it’s just generally “drugs bad, don’t do drugs”.

A headphone jack, bluetooth sucks, it’s convenient but it sucks. It’s audio quality is bad, it’s latency is bad… it’s just all bad.

apk (the best package manager): am I a joke to you?

NixOS and nix in general is incredibly complicated imo and the documentation is… let’s just say sub par. I’d go with arch unless you really just wanna learn nix.

Imo, Chris Titus should just stop making Linux content… His windows content is genuinely useful, yet his Linux content boils down to "arch and debian good, ye old packages good, Wayland not ready, snaps/flatpaks/everything else sucks, Gnome bad, gnome bad (again), fedora bad… He’s the literal definition of a gatekeeper.

You generally shouldn’t care about systemd, nor choose a distro or an OS just based on it’s init system, as they all ultimately achieve the same thing… Start and stop services. And while I don’t personally use it on my main desktop, it’s just because I don’t need any of it’s functionality and OpenRC IS a bit faster in my experience, though I can see why systemd the default on most distros, it’s extremely versatilea, powerful and handles a lot of things that you’d need separate programs for…

Installing windows after Linux, causing both the windows boot manager and grub to collectively shart themselves.

Trying to manually install the Nvidia driver and breaking my system in the process,

Not following the official docs the 1st (and 2nd) time I tried to install gentoo, resulting in sadness.

Not following the official guide the 1st time I tried to install arch, resulting in sadness.

Rebooting during a kernel update (I’ve done this many times on many different distros).

Forcing re-complilation of my whole Gentoo system with -ofast and forced lto on everything, causing… everything to break

Accidentally deleting my EFI partition in an attempt to fix grub. (I’ve also done this more than once, with systemd boot too!)

There is probably much more that I just can’t remember atm.

Great. Works on anything without any issues. I use it for pretty much everything (except web browser and only because I don’t wanna bother with permissions on that)… As for the size argument, I have also never had isssues with space, my laptop has 128GB of storage total and the /home partition on my desktop is ~100GB, both use fllatpaks for pretty much everything, I have no issues with space on either… And yes I use flatpaks on gentoo, cry about it.

…why would you use homebrew on linux?

You already use an arch container that has access to the AUR, which has literally every package, available on linux.

Also, if anything, flatpaks are THE official (universal) packaging format for Linux, it’s the most widely adopted and most well integrated of the universal packaging formats. I’m not saying that homebrew is bad, just why bother with it when you’ve got 100 other packaging formats that are all better…

C instead of V when I try to paste something… Like I’ve got something copied and I accidentally hit Ctrl+C again, instead Ctrl+V and now I have to go copy the thing I want to copy again (and then proceed to missclick again, it’s a never ending cycle)
