Linux Mint Mate 20.

I started with Ubuntu about 15 years ago and went to Mate when they adopted unity.

The only problems I've ever had were PEBCAK.

My first pc was an Amiga. I used to write programs for myself with AmigaBasic. It was essentially a keyboard that you plugged into a TV. I bought a printer and wrote a program to print some work stuff for me.

When Amiga died, I had to use MS. Nothing but problems for years until, out of desperation I tried Ubuntu on advice from a co-worker (who used ms). I have never looked back. Unfortunately there is nothing like AmigaBasic. I still write programs for myself though. Python, Lua, even tried some HTML.
I have customized the GUI to suit my preferences.

I use Firefox and DuckDuckGo as well.

I had to use Chrome at work once. I was amazed that I couldn't download anything. Totally new experience to this Firefox user. I've even installed Mate as a dual boot at work a couple of times. While the tech guys are setting up everyone to use the printer, Linux found them all without me doing anything. I've never had any issues using Libre office.

But still nothing has ever matched up with that Amiga. It worked the way I expected a computer to work. Being able to easily write programs for work and play with a language written for the OS. Total access for customization. That's my idea of a computer.
