Suggest me a distro
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like rolling distros so Arch if you're in the mood for some tinkering and really customizing your system the way your want it or openSUSE Tumbleweed if you'd rather have it up and running quicker with a premade polish.
I'd also suggest Arch assuming one has patience for some tinkering. Getting familiar with the Arch Wiki and the other resources that exist is quite useful even with other distros! Not to mention the better understanding of the system gained simply by following the installation guide.
Even if one doesn't stick with the distro, the things learned setting it up will be useful down the line as well. The experience would also be very different from Debian based things, so it could be fun for a distro hop!
