As I’m moving more to use open source software I would like to start using Linux as my daily. I’ve used Ubuntu and Debian for work but nothing more. Do you have some good distro to recommend?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the suggestions, they helped a lot

    First of all, this is an amazing write up!

    Anaconda, literally the worst installer for Linux IMO. despite the Fedora developers being very competent, i have no idea why they are using this shitty installer

    At least it lets you set up multiple independent encrypted partitions (like separate partitions or drives for root and /home), unlike the Ubuntu installer. I actually find the Ubuntu installer to be the simplest among the popular distros, in a bad way.

    openSUSE is REALLY different compared to other distros, so it will take a while for you to get used to it

    In what ways? I used openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE and it didn’t feel too different from Debian or Fedora with the same desktop environment.

    similar to Fedora, instead of using SELinux, it uses AppArmor instead

    Seeing how SELinux is made by the NSA (I’m not joking), AppArmor is a welcome alternative that I want to see succeed.
