I've been using Ubuntu for as long as I've been a Linux user, and with the way things are going I'm fixing to switch. I'm only really familiar with Debian-based distros but I've heard the packages Debian comes with are often outdated. Arch seems pretty cool but I've heard it's quite unstable. I've heard good things about Fedora.

I've also heard people say that systemd is the antichrist. Is it really that bad?

Fedora is clearly the frontrunner if you're looking to Linux as a career opportunity. I wouldn't suggest you install Redhat Linux as Fedora is free and RedHat is not. As an Ubuntu user that moves between RHEL, Ubuntu, AIX, Windows 10/11 - the biggest challenge I found was the package managers (apt, yum, winget), besides that they are so similar the learning curve is minimal, I don't even alias commands.

Personally - I have tried (and frequently virtualbox) many distros, but find Ubuntu LTS distros to be the best for my day to day home device.

If you're looking for something security based, TAILS is always a fun tinker, but I am not sure it's a daily driver TBH If you're looking for a mac type experience, Elementary OS is a nice desktop

If you're a GenX member you might remember moving between MSDos, DRDos, and IBMDos - I feel like this is a fair parallel...
