Zach Powell, there’s so much I want to respond to here!

I will say this: my first experience with KDE Neon was actually on the Pinebook. I was straight up shocked that distro even ran on it!

Also, Pop!_OS is pretty close to becoming my new daily driver, mainly because of how elegantly it handles hybrid graphics. Those guys are doing a lot right. Wish their distro was more popular.

I’m going to take your feedback into consideration for future posts. You make a strong point about not lumping every Linux distro together as some universal experience.
