I choose my distros based on which logo looks the coolest in neofetch.

You're probably best sticking with Kubuntu or installing Debian with KDE for UI (in which case you'll get a less out-of-the-boxy Kubuntu experience).
Whichever you're going to pick, don't veer off the KDE path if you value your sanity. The gnome has gone off the deep end a long time ago, their brains being eaten by Everything Is A Mobile Device brainworm.

And I installed it on virtual box, I get all the bragging rights with none of the hassle. Gentoo next?

So is the minimalism distro hype just for OCD types who need to micromanage everything and can't sleep at night if their desktop environment is using 200 MB more than it needs to?
edit: I think I understand now, this morning I went on my computer and videos were being glitchy and choppy, I'm using Mint so I have no idea what the culprit is because it wasn't installed by me, I found the issue was PulseAudio anyway but if I was using something like Arch or Gentoo I would know exactly what was going on instantly because I personally installed everything. BTW my Arch virtual machine ran videos fine while this was happening.

Your example literally happened to me... On mint. Maybe rolling release isn't too bad after all.

Had the same on gentoo, so rolling release does not really protects you from Poettering's meddling. At least you can easily downgrade and wait for the patch...

Oh boy. Just now reading about how Canonical is trying to completely ruin Ubuntu by pushing snap packages that don't even load quickly over proper dpkg's in 20.04.
Among other things, they are literally refusing to add a setting to allow users to simply turn off auto-updates and only update when they want to.
From Alan Pope of Canonical- "Don't want to have updates install arbitrarily and break your computer while you're doing important work? Just run something arbitary at the command line"

So glad I dumped kubuntu when I did. Each decision they've made over the last decade has been dumber than the last.

If ubuntu is really getting this bad is there ever likely to be a mass migration for all these distros back to a straight debian base?
