@ArmouredWizard Mint or Fedora. Mint will have older packages due to the Debian base but will be more stable as a result. If you like the windows desktop environment, mint's cinnamon will be very similar to that.

If you like messing around with different desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, or something more esoteric like Niri+DMS or Sway) or want newer packages than mint, fedora would be my recommendation. It's still quite stable and has a large community if you're looking for resources.

If you really want up to date packages, there are quite a few arch-based distros like Manjaro and Cachy that provide a more user friendly experience on top of arch, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend them over more stable alternatives, unless you really want to get into the nuts and bolts. Arch's rolling release is really good for up to date software and drivers but also really sucks when you need to update your system and something breaks.
