Kubuntu. I wanted the compatibility of Ubuntu, but not the horrible UI.

It's not without its problems, though:

Snaps completely bork the system, so you need to remove snap entirely on Kubuntu (good riddance anyway - snaps are a plague).

Idle suspend is flaky. Sometimes it won't come back. Better to just disable it.

Sometimes the machine just freezes up. Either it completely freezes, or the mouse slows down to 1fps with the entire movement queued up (move the mouse and it'll go exactly where you told it to, over 2-3 minutes).

WIFI was a nightmare, but I switched to ethernet so it's not an issue for me anymore (desktop machine).

Bluetooth is iffy. I just switched to wired speakers.

On the plus side, AI works great!
