Any suggestions on the best all-rounder OS? Is Raspberry Pi OS still the better option?

Its been so long since I ran this. Pi4, 8gb for reference.

For desktop use I would recommend Raspberry Pi OS too - if it is going to be for desktop use, I found that using the option to boot directly from an SSD (if available) gives it a bit of extra smoothness.

Oh I remember that feature when it was 'coming soon', and never actually using it. Perfect opportunity to use it. Thanks for the reminder!
