What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
I'd like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).
I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along... I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it's holding me back a bit.
What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

Right now I use pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop so it came with it. I like it because most things just work and I am lazy. Not the biggest gnome fan though. Previous to owning this laptop I tinkered with many distros but usually leaned towards lightweight DEs like xfce.
I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those. Would you do it again? Do you have any regrets or maybe wish you'd installed it on something else?
I have been very happy with my s76 machine. Keep in mind it is a re-branded cleo, but s76 has put a lot of work into opening the hardware, and making pop work perfectly on the hardware. I have a Gazelle from about 3 years ago now, and have had no problems with it. I ended up purchasing a second laptop for my SO to use (a Galago Pro) which has also been problem free. When the time comes for me to replace this machine I will look to S76 first.
Any questions I'll be happy to answer if I can.
