Suggest me a distro

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 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
