Fedora - it's modern but stable. I think they have very decent QA but also quite up-to-date kernels, which is important when running on newer hardware. I don't care much for the Gnome default desktop though - use sway and QT-based apps mostly. I tried Arch and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and found that things broke quite frequently (~every week), which I couldn't justify for my work setup. Most of the time copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ has any out-of-tree builds I need. I was a Gentoo user for many years (2006~2012) but again the maintenance burden was quite high, and I could never quite eliminate GNUTLS from my system XD. For server-side stuff, either I customize Alpine (containers, small devices) or roll with whatever is the default.
