Tbh, that’s a kinda boring question. Only total beginners will have a strong opionion. Everyone who’s been around the block for a while knows that you use the right tool for the right job and also understands that people have different preferences.

If there really was a clear “best Linux distro” for all use cases, then there would not be Linux distros but one clear winner that everyone uses.

There’s a bunch of good distros, there are enough lists of them, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. That’s as far as you’ll get with posts like this.

And it’s quite plain to see that the crowd here is a bit more adult than the kids in the Linux subs on Reddit.

Azure Linux, because why wouldn’t you want Microsoft in your Linux? ^/s

The one that works best for your use case.

The one you like better

Linux From Scratch is a way to install a working Linux system by building all components of it manually. This is, naturally, a longer process than installing a pre-compiled Linux distribution. According to the Linux From Scratch site, the advantages to this method are a compact, flexible and secure system and a greater understanding of the internal workings of the Linux-based operating systems.[5]

Nobara, user friendly, game ready, easy for windows plebs to pick up

Slackware is all anyone needs.

Asking the hard-hitting questions when no one else is brave enough
