In the last 12 years, I have tried TeXLive (on Windows / Mac / Ubuntu / Arch), MacTeX and MiKTeX and more than a dozen editors, and settled with TeXLive + TeXStudio on all platforms because there were no flaws present in other variants. Two weeks ago, I had to remove MiKTeX from my colleague’s computer because it was not installing a package that was not present in the local distribution (and biber could not be run or reinstalled at all) because she had to turn her thesis in the next day in TeXLive, everything was working as smoothly as it gets. MiKTeX is unofficial, and sometimes breaks on Windows-quite rarely, but seriously enough to bring your work to a halt. Besides that-and I cannot emphasise it enough-in 4 years, I have encountered many cryptic errors that were MiKTeX-specific on various colleagues’ computers that could not be replicated in TeXLive or Overleaf (that is using TeXLive). TeXMaker is becoming a thing of the past-compared to it, TeXStudio provides more features (in small things like dark theme support, or document parsing for better structure view, or better paragraph rewrapping etc.) and is being more actively developed. I would actually suggest two equivalent alternatives.
