Debian Sid is also a great option for people who used to be into the bleeding edge Linux distro scene but can settle for Debian's more conservative version of it.

I've been loving Pop OS! lately. It feels like a "what if" version of Ubuntu had they not spent years pushing Unity, Snap, and their other side projects and just focused on the distro. Super responsive and easy to use, regardless of if you're using free or proprietary software.

In my dotage, I’ve come to appreciate the Debian Stable cadence: I can just set it and forget it for a year at a time. The mostly-annual upgrades have saved me so much time; everything just works in concert for long stretches of stability.
