What are people daily driving these days?

I'm between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?

I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)

For laptops, I've been using EndeavourOS lately. All of the Arch goodness, but with an easy installer that handles the DE too. It's as close to "just works" as you can get while still having pacman + AUR at the end.

I still love raw Arch, but I leave that for server installs.

Same, EOS is awesome and cured my distro-hopping.

Not saying anything bad about EndeavourOS, because it's great, but:

Arch has a guided TUI installer included in it's ISO that does this too.

It does, but it's done me wrong a few times so I never recommend it. For all I know it's fine these days, but old grudges are hard do shake.
