I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.
On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text
in a Rust project, that is what it's from!

Ya! My only arguments for pop os ("Pop! OS") is that i love the defaults, so i'll just list the defaults i like
it's based on ubuntu, which is based on debian, has no "snaps" (bad package manager system that has caused my a lot of problems), and it's custom GNOME-based desktop environment has builtin window tiling and stacking.
i like tiling a lot because i dislike the other tiling WMs which all expect you to memorize shortcuts.
i have an nvidia GPU so the ISO that comes with the appropriate drivers builtin is very very nice
