PopOS is one I'm going to be looking at today, along with Aurora!
I mentioned to someone else that I practiced installing Arch in a VM, and while I got everything working, it wasn't what I would consider a fun experience (and I'm not implying that nobody would find it fun). Just a level of system admin I'm not that interested in taking up. ๐
But that's good advice to just take the plunge. Most of my important info is already backed up, so making sure my WFH software stack is ready is probably the final significant hurdle.
I totally get why you wouldn't say Arch is fun. I'm not sure if I actually like arch or if I'm a masochist, however I will say, I learned a lot about the whole OS by installing it, and fixing it when it broke. It made me much more comfortable with using Linux. I haven't used it in a couple of years, but I am thinking about reinstalling it. Nostalgia is a bad thing :-)
