Favorite opening as white

I play the London opening mainly as white. I probably should change it to become a stronger player, but I'm currently working on my black repertoire, so I will probaly stick to it for another year... #ReadyToBeRoastedForPlayingTheLondonOpening
My favorite opening as white is Scotch Gambit

Try out the YouTube channels chess base India or hanging pawns. They have lots of opening advice among other things.
But if I was to recommend something, I would recommend this set-up. It is safer than the KID, and very solid.
1. d3 e5 2. Nd2 d5 3. e4 Nf6 4. Ngf3 Nc6
5. Be2 Bc5 6. O-O O-O 7. c3
You might look like you are giving space, but you really are just trying to make black over extend and take down the center afterwards.
You can also do the same thing as black.
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nbd7 4. Nf3 e5
5. Bc4 Be7 6. O-O O-O 7. Re1 c6

The best part is that the ideas remain the same no matter what your opponent does.
My favs are English Opening, London System and Evans gambit
