There’s already a thousand comments, but I’ll give my opinion anyway. Debian is by far the most reliable distro I have ever used. It’s easier to install than arch in my opinion, and is completely rock solid. However, if you have at least a year experience with linux and you like tinkering, nothing beats arch. I don’t recommend using distros like pop_os, endevour os, or manjaro, simply because once you have a bit of experience, it just introduces more points of failure.
TLDR;Debian, or if you are experienced, arch.
My whole life I thought that an acidic cleaner is your best bet
