What computer OS do you all recomend?

I get that this subreddit is about dissing Linux and sharing frustration with Linux, but I want to know what people recommend instead. I understand that basically means keeping whatever OS was on your computer originally, but if you are getting a new computer or have to put a new OS on a device, what do you recommend?

Orange Pi zero 3w part compatibility

I'm currently working on a cyberdeck project running Debian on the Orange Pi Zero 3W, and I wanted to ask if any of you all know if these parts that I plan on using for my project are compatible with the Orange Pi Zero 3W; because I'm building a custom power circuit and relying on GPIO for the screen, I want to make sure I don't run into kernel or brownout issues.

Since my project is very small, I plan on using a 5V Step-Up Boost Converter. If I tune this converter to exactly 5.1V, will a 2A output be sufficient to prevent brownouts under load, or does this board strictly require the full 3A if I bypass the USB-C port and feed power directly to the pins?

SPI IPS LCD Module Driver: ST7789. Has anyone gotten fbtft or DRM overlays working smoothly natively on the Zero 3W's kernel for this specific controller chip?

I'm using a 5V Micro Blower Fan and a Copper Heat Sink for cooling. I noticed the Zero 3W has a dedicated 2-pin fan header. Does the default OS image support PWM/temp-based control on that specific header out of the box, or am I better off just running it at 100% directly off the standard 5V/GND GPIO pins?

Mini Cyberdeck Using Orange Pi Zero 3w

I am currently working on a cyberdeck project that is going to end up being really small, so I plan on using the Orange Pi Zero 3w. I'm fairly new to building cyberdecks, but I have played around with a Raspberry Pi.

Does anyone have recommendations on very small screens that are compatible with the OPi Zero 3W?

How necessary is a fan/way to cool it down? Is there a smaller way of cooling it down?

One of the supported OS for OPi Zero 3W is Debian. For this project, I wanted to use Parrot OS. Since Parrot comes from Debian, is that fine/can I use the Parrot OS Raspberry Pi Edition on Orange Pi?

How interchangeable are resources for Raspberry Pi with those of Orange Pi?

Newbie Here

So I'm interested in building my own cyberdeck, but I don't know how to construct or code one. Where would be a good place for me to start learning these skills?
