@xianc78 Honestly, having used many Linux distro's before and having used GNU/Linux since the mid-to-late 1990's as the only OS, I don't think any distro is really diehard.
I only noticed that what is considered "beginner friendly" or "advanced user" is decided based on how much bloat is pre-installed out of the box (the more bloat the more "beginner friendly"), and whether the installer is done using Calamares or something else.

But nowadays it's very easy to get used to Linux, even the "hardest to use Linux distro ever" can easily be learned in a matter of an hour or 2.

In the end, the best Linux distro is whichever you're the most comfortable with.
What truly matters is the desktop environment or window manager.
