Sounds fine to me. What i meant to say was that since it's all linux, the distro you pick is just customized for a certain usecase, but you can pretty much do whatever you want to do with any distro, but if you don't want to bother setting it up yourself, a distro that is already configured a certain way is more convenient, but which one is "best" in that case purely depends on what you want to do with it, but there isn't really an absolute "best" distro that everyone should use.

    As I just migrated from windows this year it's just wild to me that "comes with x pre-packaged" is an argument at all. That sounds like having a windows version that already has, say, steam preinstalled, which takes 2-5 minutes to do myself (in Windows or Linux). I wouldn't specifically pick that to save the 2-5 minutes. Researching it would take longer.

    Now, if we're talking about things that are actually hard to integrate into some distros that's a different question, but I clearly am not informed enough to imagine what that could be.
