Any suggestions on the best all-rounder OS? Is Raspberry Pi OS still the better option?

Its been so long since I ran this. Pi4, 8gb for reference.

    Lucky you with that Pi4. I think the official OS will be the most comfortable for general desktop use. If possible, boot from SSD (never USB) because microSD cards can occasionally crap out.

      Its strange, bought it when it came out (a couple months after maybe?) when stock was no issue.

      But recently I saw those stock issues and yep, feeling lucky!

      Have got a SSD for that, thanks!

        Ah, I meant never boot from a USB flash drive. Obviously use the USB ports but SSD is the fastest, then microSD, then regular USB.

          Thanks for clearing that up. I thought there might be a major issue using usb for booting a ssd. I have all these things available. I kinda want to give myself the raspberry pi desktop tool challenge.
