The one that does what I need it to do on the device I'm running it on. I've currently got four different Linux distros on x86 PCs around my house at this moment.

Sorry, I'm Plan 9 all the way
~~Did first 8 plans fail?~~
Very interesting thing. Linux Namespaces were inspired by it.

Find me a distro, that works with Nvidia 4070 / Intel CPU.
Can support a 3 monitor setup with weird sizes. 4k, 1440( in vertical), and a 1600-1200.
Play most games with out scaling issues.
That should do
P.s. very little CLI and tinkering needed.

mint.
Put any distro in front of me and provided I don't need to master it, I'm good. Ubuntu is fine. Debian is fine. RedHat is fine. Fedora is fine. I even have a tiny low-end system that is using Bohdi. Whatever. We're all using mostly the same kernel anyway.
90% of what I do is in a container anyway so it almost doesn't matter; half the time that means Alpine, but not really. That includes both consuming products from upstream as well as software development. I also practically live in the terminal, so I couldn't care less what GUI subsystem is in play, even while I'm using it.
Alpine, mainly. It's not bad on desktop.
Nixos 💀
Go on.....
Openbsd
I'm on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.
Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don't have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.
Arch was... great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.
