So if i liked for a while, was off because of games, and try to return...
Tell me true: Am i an Idiot if i take a notebook preinstalled with Ubuntu? (for work)

Really split on this, re-invigorate my love for linux on desktop, or cultivate my hate for windows-adjacent distributions?

Had bad things with real Linux, had bad things happen with Ubuntu, somehow i feel like i should install an Arch by myself. But then i feel like i should not pour my lifetime into a work laptop either.

@admitsWrongIfProven
Presuming all the hardware has kernel support, Ubuntu is in my experience nicely low-maintenance. I get strong Gentoo vibes from Arch: great for tinkerers who want to be elbows-deep in tweaking the system more than actually using it (and I say this as a Gentoo fan who used it as a daily driver for years).

@DopeGhoti Well, the real question is how much do i want to invest. Ubuntu takes that away, and Arch forces it. I love arch for that, but at the same time it is work and i don't know if i want to commit here.
Should i accept less control?

Thx for rubber ducking, i should. If i used windows, i woudl have all the trouble and no control.
