I see lots of recommendations for Fedora here. I like Fedora but it tends to be a tad bleeding edge and major version upgrades used to be impossible or sketchy at best. I hope they at least largely worked out the upgrade thing by now.

Mint and Ubuntu are usually the best recommendation for people new to the Linux world. Bazzite if they are into gaming.

they mean the race to the bottom. just as pointless as the race to have the most nukes 50+ years ago.
