Now if only I could hack up top to show which bedrock stratum each process running from, like paradigm did for me one christmas with (a now old version of) htop, I might consider learning how to use top.
Htop's hard to beat.
Others, like btop, are too heavy, too try-hard.
Would be nice if top were as convenient and easy. Oh wait, that's basically htop, again.
XFCE's been going the longest and strongest, unbroken.
Though, the user can install them all, try them all, on almost any distro. GNOME, Mate, Trinity, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cosmic, Cinnamon, etc etc. And/or just window managers, Icewm, i3, fluxbox, for a fairly easy time from the start, or more fangled things like xmonad, herbstluftwm, dwm, etc. ... I dont know the wayland things. Dozens to try.
Point being, well raised here, is that the distro does not matter so much, and new users need introduced to what the freedom means, specifically in how when you select your distro, you're not stuck with the desktop environment it first provides.
PS, GNOME's bad news, on multiple levels. Don't get me started. NSFL horrors lurk.
Answer it like its general advice, like it's preference, like it's only for today or like it's asking more deeply about our times, which is more called for, which depicts, for whatever philosophical leanings one has, or even dont even answer at all, and just listen and muse upon the idea, and get inspired to make your own child of music.
Also...
... I hear Tortoise are releasing a new album soon.

... So, you can put the phone down. You don't need to call anyone. :x
