I'm the same way. I just started using Linux and Landed on Pop!OS. Tumbleweed is high on my short list of things to try, but I finally got everything working, and boy is it working well.

I think the reason is my hardware profile is extremely similar to Pop!OS products, so I just happened to land on something per-optimized for my system out of dumb luck. I'm frankly shocked at how far linux has come. Lutro is what we've been waiting for on game installs for better than 20 years. Steam integration is of course nice, but I hate using game stores and hate being locked into that.

Anyways, been a cool experience so far.

Great stuff, welcome to the Tumbleweed club, we meet at the dumpster behind Wendy's every Tuesday. I tried Pop!_OS for a while and was quite impressed. However I have an irrational disdain for GNOME and Ubuntu so their derivatives are out for me. I hereby declare OpenSUSE and KDE the cool kids club. Tuesdays, dumpster behind Wendy's.

Which Wendy's? Would suck to go to the wrong one and end up sitting there all alone.

The one with dozens of us! Dozens!

You’ll know when you see it.

lol... the KDE crowd seems really devoted, and intent on snagging a new convert. I'll give it a shot I'm sure. But I'm definitely saving an image of this just in case.
