What is your use case and amount of time that you want to futz with with your 
OS?


I enjoy fedora silver blue. It's a a container based is that uses OStree. It's 
a distro hopper dream.

As far as desktop environments the new kid on the block is cosmic which is 
written from scratch by system76. I haven't tried it yet.

Personally I suggest Solus for less technical folks who don't want a corporate 
distro that is solely desktop focused. It is a rolling release but easier than 
running arch. It's quite performant. I really like budgie desktop environment.
