gentoo - it's pretty nice, works great on a low end machine, it would probably be fine for something like a gaming rig
debian - tried and tested it works and is pretty good, despite everything throughout the years
the machine i do some more graphically intensive stuff on is running arch but i want to get it on windows 10 soon, but 10 will be dead next year, so i wonder what i'll put on it then

It's even worse at this point, with Windows hardware you can at least get something that has a viable migration path, with Mac you are confined to that thing that looks like horse's ass and requires disabling SIP in single-user mode to install curl.
Oh, wait, you can also have Fedora with reverse-engineered drivers 😂
@eric @kirby
Of course having to do it for curl was an artistic exaggeration, but you have to do this to be able to use dynamic libraries from a different directory: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60126159/how-to-set-ld-library-path-dyld-library-path-on-macos
Might be not the thing you do every day, but it's still rather basic stuff.

And it doesn't matter what mode you have to use — you can do it using a system installed to a different volume, essentially what "recovery mode" is, point is — you can't do that on a running system. Same as you can defeat the TPM requirement of Windows 11 really, same as you can uninstall Edge, or disable that new Retract — but won't it defeat the original purpose, isn't the end-user experience ruined this way?
