In the end, we all use (GNU/)Linux. I think the differences are often exaggerated here. Sure, your package manager may vary but under the hood they tend to be quite similar (apart from being immutable or other special cases).
Have fun with Endeavour, fellow wanderer and thanks for the thread, it was a quite interesting read!
