Dead or alive
Ubuntu, after the third consecutive release that broke previously working hardware. That was a while ago and I haven’t tried it recently, but given snap I’m not really inclined to.
I am happy to help you with your experiment, toxic though it is.

I find when I get frustrated with something on Linux, I go try to do it on Windows. And then I go do it on Linux.
I hear you. I hate Photoshop, glory to Photoshop and all that. You can download a Windows 10 iso for free. Fire it up in Boxes or whatever VM software you have and enjoy unadulterated Photoshop. Sure, you’re running a whole bloated OS and emulating hardware for just one app, but disk space is cheap, and you can disconnect the virtual nic if you don’t want it online.
Linux was kinda sketchy on the hardware I had available so my first experience was installing NetBSD on an '040 Mac with a stack of floppy disks. I was able to get WindowMaker running at 16bits, 640x480. I was pretty slick, with my ‘transparent’ eterm.

Just 7 decades til world domination!
I one heard ast describe Linux’s code quality as ‘marginal’ (presumably speaking of the kernel)
Of course, it was ast talking at BSDCan but still, harsh words from a master.
