If you look how cheap creality printers are, they are amazing. I never owned one, but I like S1 Pro much more than ender 3. It has all metal hotend, direct drive extruder, cr touch, filament sensor, magnetic pei sheet so actually it has what most people buy for cheap machines. Even tho they both are cheap, I dislike wheels instead of proper rods or rails, 4 point bed leveling and bed slinger design. Ive seen loads of perfect prints coming from ender, but Im sure you need some luck and loads of skill and patience for that. If you are prepared to recieve faulty parts and fix whats broken you can enjoy this hoby with creality. Dont expect much support from creality, but there is loads of people that can help on lemmy im sure. I heared good about sovol sv06 (prusa clone) so check that out, its same price range.
Better one but much more expensive is prusa, same kind of machine but better support and build quality.
Other than that most people recommend bamboolab p1p but thats not open source and also more expensive.
Whatever you buy have fun
I've been running Fedora Core on my laptops for years and my cell service is tracfone....support is for the weak :P
Consider getting a job at creality support center, exactly what they are looking for hehe
