Yeah - I really like the UI of PopOS but it looks like I may have to settle on ZorinOS for my workhorse and maybe PuppyOS for my lighter machine (I have a laptop at my workbench playing YT as I work ;) ) and Mint XFCE seems a little glitchy. I'm in no way adept enough with the Terminal to wade my way through Arch or FreeBSD & need something that'll work straight off without clogging up my system - or spying on me.....

The beauty of Linux is that its use and development is so wide open that no-one really seems to own it; imagine if it were all condensed down to a single (saleable) cooperation - we all know who'd buy it up in a flash! ;)
