Exactly! Also many people especially early on, seem to think distros are vastly different. They’re really not, so much as they’re a different assortment of bits and pieces from mostly the same pool. Some things differ significantly across I wouldn’t say distros but across like, kernel bases? Like Debian, Arch, etc. The big thing is if it has 99% of what you wanted straightaway, then there’s nothing wrong with just using it, optimizing it for your preferences, and learning what distinguishes it, if you’re interested.

When I got a new laptop, I was psyched because it was not long after Debian had finally dropped that whole opposition to things that aren’t 100% open source, as of v 12. I like Debian but prior to 12 I often had driver issues. BUT: lo and behold, my laptop was so new that Debian didn’t have drivers for the audio yet. Nothing did except Ubuntu. They’re usually very quick to get stuff compatible, and so I installed Kubuntu so I could be on my fav desktop right off the start.

Now, quite some time later, Debian almost certainly has my audio drivers by now, but I’m not rushing to change because what I have works. End of story.

Whatever is working for you, enjoy it.
