Thanks for sharing your experience! I don't have a strong opinion about distributions, but just wanted to give some pointers to distros that come with a recent Linux kernel (6.5 or greater) for people who aren't familiar.

Pop!_OS and Linux Mint seem to be the most recommended for beginners, probably because the net is filled with "how to do X on Ubuntu". I recognize that Nobara, Fedora and OpenSUSE have an enthusiastic following too and I really think all of the distros I mentioned are good in their own way.

Am running EndeavourOS Sway Community Edition myself, but I definitely wouldn't recommend that particular variant to people who don't know what they're getting into. Have tried to contribute a fix to it but it's unmaintained currently.
