Haven’t used it in a few years, but if it is still like it was, I highly recommend it for regular users. Solid, good choice of packages (for regular people). Don’t remember ever having any problems with PCLinuxOS.
(I switched away only because I’m not a “regular” user.)
Gentoo on my home computer. Started way back in the day when you had to recompile source RPMs on RPM-based distros to get CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) language support. Debian language support was excellent, but I didn’t enjoy always being 5 package versions behind, especially as fast as some software was being developed.
CJK isn’t an issue anywhere anymore, but I stay on Gentoo because it has all the packages I want, and it doesn’t force systemd on me.
Will be moving away from Ubuntu on my work computer because of all the foolishness with ‘is it deb or is it snap?’. Not sure what I’ll go to.
