Switched to Linux about 5 years ago and never looked back.

I've been on Arch Linux since 2016 (after ditching Gentoo (8+ years) for Linux Mint (~2 years).
First it was Antegros, then when that project died, Anarchy Installer, then when THAT project died in 2022, I switched to CachyOS and haven't looked back!!
CachyOS seems to get EVERYTHING right.
I was spending days and days trying to get Nvidia drivers working and installed ... and then I just installed CachyOS and it got everything right! Switching from one arch brand to another that works is a no-brainer.
And Arch Linux is simply the best Linux distro I've ever used in my entire life (since 1994). It has the same feel as Gentoo, and I *can* compile everything if I want, but it's so fast to install and I always get the latest stuff as soon as it comes out!
Also, overall, my Arch Linux system, on btrfs with daily snapshots, is far more stable than Gentoo ever was.

I never tried any of those but I did try SUSE way way way back in the day.
Years later, after becoming utterly sick of MS updates wrecking my beloved Windows 7 PC, I switched to Mint and everything just worked right out of the box- wifi, bluetooth, everything.
CachyOS might be great but until someone can articulate a compelling reason to switch, I'll probably stay with Mint.
