I use PopOS which itself is based on Ubuntu. The reason that I use it is that everything works out of the box including graphics switching and seamless HiDPI based on monitor being used.
You can achieve this with other distros but I do not have time anymore to mess around with packages and config files, I just want something that works.

Also I dual boot Windows 10. Thanks to Docker and WSL it is the same development experience. The only problem right now is that IO is quite slow in WSL. Depending on how better WSL 2 will be I might switch to Windows full time. As a desktop experience it is way better than Linux and by having Linux inside Windows I will not be missing my daily tools.

In the end the best distro is the one you are most comfortable with.

You get a like for PopOS and a dislike for Windows.

I really do not understand people who hate Windows. I myself love Linux and enjoy Windows at the same time.

After windows 8 was released it's not about personal preferenses anymore. People hate Windows for particular reasons.

And these reasons existed since Windows 3.11 and every new version added more and more such reasons.
