100% this. If you're hiring for React then you're filtering out the best web devs on the market because those folks saw the issues with the React treadmill years ago.

I spent many weekends trying out multiple distros and machine configurations and these are my takeaways
( tools: vim, tmux, penpot, figma, blender, browser )

- Pop_OS! on an old Carbon X1 just worked first try
- Flatpak is a mistake
- Alacritty is legit
- Tiling window managers are awesome
- Arch sway is nice but had some driver issues
- hyprland is neat but too much for me
- Linux runs really well on low powered machines ( e11 )

Arch is still my goal
