In my storm and stress phase, I tried many things, but nowadays I tend to choose boring technology when it comes to work, for me that is Ubuntu or Debian with XFCE4 Desktop.
On my personal System I currently run Omarchy though.

Omarchy looks interesting! The guy on the video gives me anxiety, but read everything about the distro and I am going to play with it tonight.

I tried Omarchy to explore Hyprland, Waybar, and similar tools. I'd seen them in beautifully riced tiling desktops and wanted to experience that myself. Mainly, I wanted an opinionated, different desktop experience to break from my usual setup.
Next time I reinstall, I'll probably take my custom Hyprland and Waybar configs and move to a Debian/Ubuntu-based system.
Have you had the opportunity yet to play around with Omarchy?

That's funny, from the title I was expecting insecurity to mean "unsure of oneself" or "fear of missing out", which DHH is also a master of marketing toward.
Upon further reflection, creating a sense of missing out on something is the essence of modern marketing.

I spent some time looking into what Omarchy has become since I installed it on my system, and I don’t think I like it anymore. ^^
Using it mainly to open a browser or applications like VS Code… well, I can do that with any OS. But the whole “AI-first” direction, DHH, and everything surrounding it are making me reconsider. I’ll probably migrate away from it soon. #bummernotesfollow

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.

Ubuntu or Linux Mint with Cinnamon and i3 alternating as window managers here

Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Arch with i3, have been using it for like 7-8 years now. Started out at elementary os, really good and everything, but the thing where I dont need to install *-dev libs separately saves me a lot of time during compilations and building. Also, AUR is a life saver at times.
