Do you mainly play games? -> bazzite, nobara
Do you want to get to know your system and read package updates on a daily basis? -> arch
do you want to control your system? Nix
do you want an end user system? Fedora, opensuse or mint
do you like pain? -> ubuntu

Put CachyOS in the first bullet point too. It's in a really good state right now

I've been using its handheld version for over a month on my Legion go and it's great.

But I installed it on my main PC wanting to go back to Arch and had to force a shutdown because my monitor is picky about being turned on after the PC and it fucked the OS. It needed to boot a live USB and introduce some command to fix it.

First time I see something like that, although I have to admit that I've been daily driving Linux for only ~3 years.
