Does what I want and gets out of my way.

It isn’t, it is the least bad
I’ve been enjoying EndeavourOS over the past three years. It works wonderfully out of the box at default settings, and was really easy for me to use and set up to my liking with minimal know-how needed.
It also works really well on the variety of machines I have in my home. My desktop, modded Chromebook, and my husband’s laptop.
It’s allowed me to get more familiar and confident with the command line, and enough so that I’ve switched to Sway from XFCE (and previously KDE).
I don’t know that it is objectively the best - but its the best fit for me right now (LMDE).
I’m convinced it isn’t.
This week alone I’ve used Arch, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, and Fedora. Its Arch. By a short way, and mostly thanks to the wiki. Tbh they are all converging, and I go with KDE variants when I use a GUI and no distro does too much to customise it
NixOS. My entire config is source-controlled and I can easily roll back to a previous boot image if something breaks like cough Nvidia drivers. I also use it for my home router and all self-hosted services.
Mine’s the best, because it fits with what I want. Might not be your best, but it’s mine.
Because I like compiling everything from source for a 0.2% speed improvement
Really? I guess everyone was 15 at some point and hadn’t heard that distro wars are useless 🤣
There is no best. Period.
openSUSE Slowroll and Secureblue are my favorites ATM. Slowroll for gaming, Secureblue for mobile device. Both are hardened for security because that matters to me.
Because it lets me use a list of packages instead of needing to remember what to install, has every package I need and let’s me use them without installing them, and has a good rollback system to go along with cutting edge packages.
BunsenLabs Boron - Debian 12 with Openbox Window Mgr - no desktop, no icons. The machine is not burdened by having to run a heavy desktop environment. All navigation and execution is done with mouse (right click), keybindings or command line. Linux without the Windows artifacts. On my HP i7, boots to login in 19 seconds.
