Imo theres no best distribution, I just use what I see fit for a particular purpose.
My favourite for personal laptop use (internet, development) is Void Linux for the following reasons:
Sane and minimal base system (I hate NetworkManager though, but it can easily be switched for e.g. connman)
The package manager is decently fast
Fairly recent software in the official repo, while still being stable
The documentation is good (It could be worded better though)
I would also say familiarity and comfort are a lot bigger factor than some might admit. I stick with Fedora because I know it, not because it’s somehow objectively better than other distros. At this point, most distros will work ootb on most hardware and serve a lot of the same purposes.
Yes, obviously there isn’t a best one, I was just curious which one y’all like best using for your purposes. (Was that a bad way to phrase the question?) This is the first time I heard of Void Linux, I’ll have a look at the site you linked!
Some cool stuff I forgot because I only use it on my Laptop:
They offer an alternative build with musl libc, a less “bloated” and potentially more secure alternative to glibc (desktop stuff broke often when I tried it, but for servers it’s really nice)
They support ARM and have easy to use prebuilt images for popular arm boards
