No way that actually exists lol
Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)
I’m using Fedora and I’m really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,
I don’t like what RedHat is actually doing, but yes Fedora is the successor.
I’m not happy with RedHat neither. And Fedora 40 considering to add telemetry doesn’t help. I love Fedora tho, but if RHEL keeps heading the way is going I’ll hop to another distro.
Maybe is time to try Arch and embrace the meme (and learn, I’m a lil scared)
Try arch and you’ll never distro hop again
I can confirm that.

NixOS
I’m running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.
openSUSE Tumbleweed. Rolling and reliable.

Tipps Fedora
I installed Endeavour OS today and I’m liking it a lot.
I absolutely agree with this guy: Chris Titus’s distro tier list.. But you can try absolutely anything with this hardware.
The top 10 in Distrowatch. I don’t even know which they are, but odds are that you’ll find something good in it.
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
Fedora since Podman UI desktop came, for long term usage…
