Have any recommendations?

  Googler's workstations use Debian Testing (customized). It might be a good start.

  I do. Manjaro (arch-based rolling release distro). The installer is second to none except maybe suse, the hardware detection is also second to none, having worked for me with all kinds of combinations of cpu/vid card. It has one more thing that is super awesome as well, which is the easiest kernel management system I've ever messed with. I also really think that rolling release is the optimum current release model, another reason I like it. It has access to the aur (arch user repository). I highly recommend the xfce4 version, (most user issues on the forums are kde based and not manjaros fault) even though I am fully over on awesome now. I also don't like lightdm that much so I like replacing that too. In general, that's the arch principle (KISS, remove the cruft, use what you want, replace things and customize them) Source: someone who distro hops all the time, maintains all kinds of systems, and who has been using manjaro as a daily for ~1 yr.
