Currently at 20.10, the system feels really responsive. I like its speed but sometimes I think about using Manjaro or Pop!O. I used Arch once before, but I’m not feeling like revisiting it right now.

Linux offers flexibility: you can choose your setup. Using a dedicated partition or drive for /home is ideal, though an external drive works too. It’s not ideal, but feasible.

There are various factors at play, not typical for an average person.

If you like the default ubuntu experience then no, there's no reason.

Well… For those who prefer not to use the latest versions (often called “bleeding-edge” packages), sticking with Groovy works fine. If you want something newer but don’t need every update, a PPA or a Debian repo (like WineHQ for non-PPA distributions) will suffice.

If Ubuntu suits you, explore other options by testing different operating systems in VirtualBox.

PopOS and Mint run on Ubuntu, so you're familiar with commands like "sudo apt install." You won't need to start from scratch if you're used to those steps. I'm hesitant about switching to Arch-based distros (like Arch or Manjaro) because I prefer not to search for basic information there.
