Interesting to see that Arch Linux ishe most popular, even more so than endeavorOS which is way easier to install. I know Ubuntu isn't the hotness anymore but I figured mint would have jiat replaced it at the top. Apparently not. Then again power user who insults their own operating system but is also a game her might select for more advanced Linux users. Otherwise they might just dual boot or are the likes users who run it on a spare laptop.
I've been in Ubuntu user since I was 13 and I still am on my primary desktop but my old desktop which is now a utility server for me is running endeavor
EndeavourOS uses Arch's repos first and foremost, with additional stuff from their own repos on top of that, so it gets both the new hardware support you're praising, as well as AUR, and on top of that it's easier to install and maintain.
I second this, endeavor is for all intents and purposes exactly arch with some extra branding, but what I really like about it is that their community forums are great, so if I run into a problem I can ask in endeavor forums, and if they don't have a solution I can ask the tech gurus on the arch wiki as well.
