I'm on a Win11 box at the moment. I have a work issued Win11 laptop on my left (in the middle of a 45 minute mandatory "upgrade"), and an Ubuntu laptop beside that. Ubuntu and self-managed Win11 aren't all that different, for my UX - the work issued Win11 is an altogether less cooperative beast (what USB?, you aren't allowed to use USB memory sticks! but I filled out the special permission form and had it signed by my manager and it was working last month...)
My distro of choice, lately, is Debian. Once upon a time, the argument of "you get more recent versions / better selected packages / better configured desktop in Ubuntu" had some merit, no more - for me, at least. Maybe Mint still does this? People who love Mint still seem to love Mint. I'm tired of working through the filters, straight Debian is fine for me, it's what I have been installing on our HTPCs, and the next time I setup a Linux daily driver it will likely be Debian.
