Thank you. I seriously have no idea about these other distributions though. Is anything coming somewhat close to a Win10 or Mac machine with sensible and pretty defaults that require less tinkering to get to initial productivity quicker?

I am willing to try again at certain point but I have to say I am not informed enough to focus my efforts in the right direction.
