Thanks for the suggestions!

> "Just works" type desktop: Don't use linux.

That's why I preferred Ubuntu, it felt like a good compromise between a Linux system and ease of use (or rather ease of setup).

> Just use macOS or something. There's lots of things that don't "just work" on Linux even today.

That's actually what I'm currently doing, for pretty much that exact reason.

That said, I really want to switch to Linux as my primary OS again, I guess I'll give Arch a try.

> The distros have less and less meaning nowadays.

That's a good point.
