I use EndeavourOS and it's great, but for linux newbies or folks who just want a stable OS as a daily driver i'd recommend some other ones. I used POP_OS before switching to Endeavour and that was a solid one for me

I'll add another option that is great for people trying out Linux for the first time (though it's great for seasoned Linux folks, too): ZorinOS. It's based on Ubuntu LTS, but has a few beginner friendly options and features straight out of the box. Note that there is an optional "pro" version if you like to support development, but it's completely optional.

Here is an interesting link that a user can answer questions to refine Linux distro choices:

No experience with Pop, but I've heard good things!

I daily drive it at work and it's perfectly solid, but I also don't do anything cuhRAAAAZY because it's a workstation. 99% of the time I'm just running Flameshot to take screenshots, a few Firefox windows with one or two dozen tabs total, a company chat program, and on rare occasions I'll use LibreOffice to open a file or do some very light image editing.
