That's a good point, i agree there are also plenty of folks who use niche distros partly as a hobby

KDE Plasma? The top panel layout is very slick
My gpu twin! I was also on Kubuntu at the time for the same reasons.
Lots of folks use those "toy" distros to accomplish specialized tasks that are cumbersome or impossible on other distros. I'd describe it more as "general purpose" vs "niche"
the 9 month update cycle is my biggest issue, and it's not a big deal
Plain old Fedora.
I know the hurdles, i know what to expect, and I've never been surprised by it.
Immutable sounds nice, AUR sounds nice, NixOS sounds nice, but i am utterly confident in my current choice's reliability and comfortable with its idiosyncracies. Everything i want to do works very well.
If i had less time/energy or had to switch, Kubuntu would be my second choice. Less frequent updates and fewer creature comforts, but also very reliable.
I dont have VR, but i assume you saw this?

This person was having trouble with Bazzite the other day. Do you have any idea what the issue could be? Works for me on Fedora
Japanese Sega Saturn is my all-time favorite design
Dreamcast and Japanese/PAL SNES are also up there.
Lineage gives you a decent app ecosystem (F-droid) with the option to set up Play Store for full Android compatibility
Ubuntu Touch has a very limited ecosystem compared to F-droid, but might be enough for someone willing to do most tasks in a browser.
Stuff like phone calls, pictures, sms, podcasts, music, and other simple tasks will work equally well on either OS assuming your device is supported
