I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.
I started around 2018, using crouton to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook so I could have better functionality. I went back to Windows for a while, then I started using Pop!OS as my daily driver last year. I still don’t know if I love it, but I’m sticking with Linux of some flavor going forward.
Half a year ago I tried it but I have destroyed the system so bad, that even live usb wouldn’t boot. Few months ago I have tried again, seems in time what was broken before got fixed by itself also I stuck with it this time and love using it.
live usb not booting is a seperate problem
Most likely… Unless the “destruction” was switching your MOBO between Legacy BIOS and UEFI, in which case you could break booting into both in one swoop ;D
