The last 3 years I've done some distro hopping trying to get away from Windows on my home computer.

I tried Pop_OS!, Kubuntu, EndeavourOS, Debian, and MX Linux all with KDE desktop.

I think MX Linux is definitely a sweat spot of stability, usability, and great new hardware compatibility. It's as fast as an Arch based, as stable as a Debian based, and compatible as a Ubuntu. NOTE: Couldn't use Ventoy to install.

Phone wise, Apple makes a rock solid product.
