I've used ubuntu for many years now. It does have some nice customisability but that comes with a steep learning curve to get some things working. And you should ideally know something about hardware and drivers to really get to grips with Linux since the drivers are usually the thing that causes pain. Because some hardware needs proprietary drivers and working around that is hard. That said I would say what OS you work with depends very much on your needs, what your work uses and who is available to help support you as you learn. It is much easier to have someone teach you how to do something than to read pages of documentation.
