I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I’m glad I don’t have to use it after I retired.
I am kind, and try to do no harm. I bicycle daily, and tinker on all kinds of projects. INFP

ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.
As others have said, most people don’t install operating systems. They just buy a system, likely a laptop and run whatever OS is on it. Hardly any laptops come with Linux preinstalled unless you look pretty hard, or are searching specifically for one.
Missouri is represented twice in the list, with St Louis as the worst, and Kansas city not far behind.
I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.
I prefer Debian.
I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
