No way that actually exists lol
It exists for the clueless. Elite users use RebeccaBlackOS
Pop!_OS
I’m using Fedora and I’m really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,
NixOS
Guix

I’m running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.
Try arch and you’ll never distro hop again
I can’t confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.
I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I’ve never looked back. Been 5 years now :)

Arch Linux if you well speak with terminal, Artix if not, Gentoo if want some hard:) PopOS cool.

I’m partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.
I haven’t really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I’ll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.
I think the best way to decide is to fire up a bunch of VMs and install a distro on each. Going through the installation process for arch is a great way to start learning more about the OS IMO so if you’re interested in that then that’s a very beneficial thing to do anyway. I use Debian on my laptop and dual boot arch and Debian on my desktop. I’ve only ever used fedora for servers so I can’t comment on how it serves as a daily driver. Here’s a few distros I’ve used and recommend to try out. Debian Arch Manjaro ParrotOS(if you’re into security) Centos
If you want to go for traditional distributions that don’t have native rollback mechanisms, I would suggest using btrfs along with something like snapper.
Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)
The top 10 in Distrowatch. I don’t even know which they are, but odds are that you’ll find something good in it.
I love endeavourOS, can recommend
A good one for Arch Linux.
