Before I swapped to linux full-time, I used virtualbox to create test environments from various distros to see which one I liked best.
After testing: EndeavorOS, Manjaro, PopOS, Nobara, Ubuntu, and openSuse
I settled on Endeavor as my main driver and have been running it for over a year now. openSuse came close second for me, and Nobara was a distant last, I really did not like it. The important thing for me was to try several of them in a safe way that would let me experiment on if this was really something I wanted at all.
I was the exact same way in high school before I came out as trans and had no problem interacting with women and even had 2 romantically interested in me because I was soft and sweet. Stick with it and you’ll find someone. Don’t let other guys bully you into throwing it away, being true to yourself is a form of confidence and confidence is sexy.
