I was a huge distro hopper until I started using immutable distros. One thing no one tells beginners is that you do have to maintain your system more on Linux than other OSs because Linux gives you the rope to hang yourself with. I would always bloat my OS and things would get unruly, everything would slow down or become unstable and I would lose track of how I had everything set up. Immutability make things so much cleaner.
Searched, not googled. Google is bad, M'kay?

Drugs are bad, M'kay? Don't do drugs.
You missed the step where you tell everyone what distro you use, and that its the best.
Five minutes after you installed it and haven't tried anything else.
Okay, but when most people are looking for advice on which distro to use it's because they don't know what they want.
I'd rather someone's first choice about Linux was which DE to use. This plays a way bigger part in first impressions.
~~The obvious choice is KDE, ofc~~
I totally agree, that's a way more important factor when you're starting out with Linux.
~~Gotta be Gnome though~~
That's a strange way to spell Xfce.
