I'm currently running XeroLinux. It's an Arch based distro using KDE. It looks very nice and runs well.
Why not AlmaLinux or Rocky in lieu of CentOS, over Ubuntu? In my experience, it's never too long before Ubuntu Server ***** the bed in production - usually at the worst possible time, and usually because of a cruddy update to netplan or a kernel patch. It's let me down too many times in the last few years (where a VPS provider has made it awkward to *not* use it) for me to want it anywhere near prod again. It's too much hassle. If I can't use *BSD, I reach for a RHEL clone, and if that's infeasible, Debian. I like Debian, but I hate how the 'Debian way' alters things like file locations, switches and/or the way they operate versus upstream.Mainly RedHat for production and CentOS for testing, since the changes to CentOS am looking at moving more to Ubuntu.
Outside these I am happy using any other distro, which ever suits the task.
Retrying PopOS is on my todo list if Ubuntu keeps putting out buggy snaps.
I like Mint very easy to use.Linux Mint for years now, tried others but always come back to Mint just fined it so easy to use.
I upgraded my desktop to Fedora 37 beta yesterday, smooth as butter. I prefer Devuan as a daily but Fedora got installed 'temporarily' and... well there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, right? LOL I keep saying I'll hose it when something goes wrong. Two versions later, I'm still waiting...Have switched my work setup from windows with wsl to fedora 36. Am very pleased with it so far, including the relative ease of secure boot and nvidia drivers.
Do / did you have the slow boot issue? And if so is it fixed on 37?I upgraded my desktop to Fedora 37 beta yesterday, smooth as butter.

systemd-analyze blame
. It'll give you a list of boot services with the slowest to load at the top. That gives you somewhere to start digging in the logs (or to disable if it's non-essential).
