Dash would certanly use CachyOS. For Rarity, anything as long as the DE is GNOME. Pinkie would be a chronical distrohopper.

I'd assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.
These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.
I think that works better than "this is OS can tolerate her"
She would follow an online guide to change the emoji font, not noticing that it's for Windows 10, not back up the registry before editing the seguiemj.ttf entry to Noto Color Emoji.ttf and thus freezing any program trying to render emoji, breaking the OS because there's one in her username on the login screen. No, Windows 11 can't handle her.
Changing the default emoji font is easy and safe on Linux with fontconfig, just add the font name among aliases to sans-serif in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (user) or /etc/fonts/local.conf (global) and you can use any emoji font you can get your hands on. Heck, even grub comes with emoji (monochrome, obviously) in its default unicode.pf2 font.
Well I like Pinkie Pie. So nyeh! π
I may be a certified expert in My Little Pony, but I've only used like 3 distros, so I don't think I'm qualified enough to weigh in.
I wouldn't say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.
Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions
Tbf it does say perceived speed. Perception is shaped by marketing and bells and whistles regardless of reality, and all that jazz.
My perception is W11 is that it's hella slow. Rainbow Dash should just get like Bazzite or CachyOS.
Oddly the only people who would perceive windows as βfastβ are the ones who havenβt used anything else.
This is a 2010-era meme. Things have changed since then.
Ah yes of course I remember using Windows 11 back in 2012. I definitely was not still using Windows 7 and Windows XP lol
Only eggheads like twilight use Linux.
macOS Tahoe is far from being consistent and refined, remains me of the first days of windows 11.

Nix user. The declaritive config IS the documentation and I enjoy no longer having to document how to setup my system as much. I don't enjoy scripting or automating things, but I enjoy the benefits of only needing to do it once via Nix's config system.
I enjoy engineering: an engineer will spend 3 hours figuring out how to do a 2 hour job in 1 hour.
As a nix user I can confirm my twilight sparkles.
except RD it looks good.
For bluefast you could either take something with fast releases such as arch or fedora. Or something lightweight with faste boottimes, such as Peppermint or Bodhi.
Grammar check helpful been would have a.
