I think it's good advice to go with a remix of a solid distro that's emphasizing "out of the box" experience. I haven't tried Antergos myself, but sounds approximately like the target market for Korora which is a Fedora remix, and includes more obscure things like non-free (i.e. proprietary) software, browser plugins, and drivers.

There are some things I have to use Windows or macOS for because the proprietary software only exists on one of those platforms, but day to day I'm using Fedora. I'm sick of the entire macOS and Windows ecosystems. About the only thing making sense for sticking with macoS at least, is that it's the only way to develop macOS and iOS apps. Lock in.
