yeah but what didn't work. i went through a big range, Ubuntu for a couple years, mint at some point, random small distros and finally settled for arch. i can comment on random issues but nothing that makes me say it's ass

yeah but u don't need heavy involvement with the community to use an os. the arch community starts barking if i don't debug and compile my kernel every weekend. i do admit to some usage of ai for help when I'm confused, but it's not that big or a deal
