All I really care about is what's underneath and then I build on top of that (or strip down) usually Debian based. Other than the package management it's pretty much pick a part and build from desktop env to display/login manager. Linux is like Legos lol.

I do test many distros in VM's yearly, but I always end up sticking with Debian or Ubuntu on main machines and Linux Lite on my kids laptops. I'll alternate back and forth between Gnome and KDE for a desktop and GDM3 or LIGHTDM when I get bored.

I understand that different distros have different "aims", but that has always seemed more personal preference than actual practicality in my opinion. It's doesn't take much effort to turn Ubuntu into Kali and vice versa... I think there's even a few scripts I've seen somewhere out there that do so. It's essentially installing Kali repositories and installing the packages... Then theme it up...
