I’m a long-time Linux hacker and I’m currently running Pop! OS on my laptop and dev box. It’s the best distro I’ve found yet that Just Works™ (but naturally still allows for all the customization I might want).
I’ve also run mint and ubuntu, but this was very smooth.
The only problem so far are I get a crackling in my headphones in at least one game (guild wars 2), and I’m not sure how to diagnose that. One of the related problems of windows being so dominant is the internet is full of SEO slop for windows problems
Like I said, it allows for what I want. I don’t need to “rice” a setup that I’m trying to use to Get Shit Done. These days, the only time I’m rebuilding Linux from scratch is when I’m literally building an OS for a project.

Easy effects (flathub) helped improve my sound a lot
I find Ubuntu to be buggier than it used to be, and snaps are inherently broken.
Mint stands between Ubuntu and Pop! OS, but is still fiddlier than what I want for a daily driver.
really? I found the customization for Pop/COSMIC extremely limited.
