I'm going to save you a lot of reading.

Your choice of desktop environment will probably be more impactful on your linux experience than your choice of distro unless you go for something like Arch, and even that is mostly just a larger initial cliff to climb before you end up in the same place. People are insanely autistic about distros but they're 90% doing the same shit in slightly different ways and you have to get down to very specific use cases before a specific distro can't meet your needs.

None of them are demanding your loyalty you can hop to another whenever you want if you think a particular one is shit . Unlike the transition from windows to linux you don't have to find alternatives for all of your packages, only a few. If you stick with the same desktop environment switching is even easier. People will get into endless autism wars over whether you're typing apt or dnf in the terminal to do the same commands.

The number of linux distros could increase tenfold over the next decade and people would still tell you that we are six months from a company finally planting its roots deep enough to seize the entirety of free software, and that it's all personally your fault because picked X as a daily driver over the more free Y and signed a deal with the devil that has doomed us all. Half the time they aren't even right about how free or non-free something is as you can already see with people thinking Fedora is some closed source Windows esque distro or government honeypot just because it's related to a large company.

Now that you have read this you no longer have to click on another linux thread on /g/ ever except for going to the friendly general specifically only to answer or ask helpful questions.
