Whenever I try and use Linux as a dev environment I find myself repeatedly distracted by small issues here and there that I have to take an hour to research and solve. Despite that, the idea of having a Unix dev environment on my desktop machine continues to hold appeal.
So, what's the most straightforward, "just-works" Linux distro out there today? Historically I've used Ubuntu which isn't terrible but never stops requiring a bit of fiddling here and there. I've heard good things about PopOS, Elementary, and Mint, but I've never tried to use any of them for real work.
