Fedora with KDE

Advantages:

• Most software has a version for it, this is not the case for e.g. OpenSUSE. The software is also usually quite new (unlike Debian).
• You can boot into older system versions if an update failed so you’re never stuck with a broken system.
• It doesn’t push snaps down your throat unlike Ubuntu and comes with Flatpak by default.
• A very customizable interface that is quite similar to Windows 7/10 by default with tons of useful features.
• Not a point release like Debian that requires a certain level of manual migration to upgrade to a newer version.

Downsides:

• Slightly less popular than Debian-based distro’s and thus has less info on it online.
• Rolling release so you will have to update very often.

Linux Mint is mentioned a lot in this thread, but it’s one of the few distro’s I’ve never used before so I won’t advise in favor of it.
