Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I’ve had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I’d like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I’m mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.


Respectfully disagree.
Gnome is the environment not implementing Server-side window decorations.
That makes everything harder for app developers since they have to implement client side window decorations to make apps movable just for Gnome.
When apps can’t be moved around on Gnome because they don’t have a window handle to drag, it doesn’t really fit the “it just works” requirement.
