Meh, it's kind of a silly name, sure, but it's one of the few distros backed by an actual vendor (System76) who isn't just trying to sucker you into buying something. As a result it has a nice level of polish and function.

I like macOS fine, I have been using Macs since 1984 (though things like SIP grate).

Why does SIP grate? For my work machines I really want features like SIP to prevent fuckups and malware (especially considering how much code a random rust or node application pulls in).

For tinkering machines and servers and stuff of course that’s a different story..
