I love the fact that there are different Linux distros optimized for every person.

I started using Linux almost a decade ago; starting with Ubuntu, then I moved to Kubuntu and now I'm on Omarchy which is even more optimized for developers.

I feel very comfortable recommending Linux to people now though I would recommend a different distro depending on who is asking.

IMO Ubuntu is the simplest general-purpose one. Kubuntu is the same but more customizable slightly more developer-focused. Omarchy (which is a fork of Arch Linux) is very developer-focused.
