EndeavorOS is fantastic.
There's a difference between creating something and giving it to the world and being on the hook to help them solve their business problems.

Ubuntu, because of their shenanigans with ads in the OS, forcing snap and just generally demonstrating disdain for their userbase.
Manjaro for their office suite debacle, and general instability.
RHEL for their recent attempts to subvert GPL.
Debian because packages are never, ever, ever up to date.
Gentoo because any sane person would get sick of compiling.
RiscV laptops and precompiled binaries in package managers.
