2 Months ago i decided to quit Windows 11 cold turkey. Started with PopOS - didnt like whatever DE i had, so i just switched entirely over to Kubuntu - where i had a ton of permission issues. Finally landed on EndeavorOS using KDE Plasma and WOW. Everything simply works. I've been on it for 6 weeks now and I absolutely love it.
Lots of options out there, and my reasons for moving around could have been solved other ways, but I'm happy where i landed. Everything is customized exactly the way i like it (for now) and it all runs smooth as lubed butter.
The community has been great, and with the advent of AI, almost any problem i have is easily fixed (though there haven't been many).
EDIT - i realized i didn't say anything about gaming but between heroic, steam, and wine, everything just WORKS! Only 1 problem i have is I cant get voice to work in Rocket League, because the Epic terms wont open. I can live with that!
EDIT 2 - I run this with an NVIDIA 4070 Ti Super and an Intel i7 12700k
I like endeavour os. Needed an uptodate kernel and fancied a change after spending 15 years on mint which i love. Kde was new to me but grown to love it.
Arch ftw.
