I've been playing with different Linux distros over the years for different purposes.
Folding@home is best on Ubuntu with some Linux kernel changes (build it yourself for server and throughput optimizations)
Normal use, that's a hard one, Ubuntu is usable, all the Google searches for help zero in on Debian, mainly Ubuntu, package management and repository. Right now I've been installing Manjaro Architect on my laptop and the tweak ability is great to a fault... The fault is changing and installing things to the point of having to install again and then get the packages again that you used most straight from the beginning in order to not confuse and clutter the OS.
On laptops with small SSDs I pretty much think that using a file system that has default zlib compression and deduplication enabled is a must (btrfs or zfs) and it does not slow down my laptop at all (8250u 8gb ddr4 128g m.2 SATA SSD)
The most usable Linux would be a Ubuntu package management compatible Manjaro Deepin hybrid that uses BTRFS as default. Manjaro Architect with Deepin worked with no changes to support my Drobo5N and Windows network. But BTRFS didn't work with swapfile with the installer so I had to use ext4. A hybrid Manjaro Architect with Deepin Ubuntu installer with a graphical advanced partition configuration manager would be great!
Edit: oh, full screen vsync and multiple video codec VPU acceleration is required. Tearing sucks and ability to play 4k YouTube with little to no dropped frames.
