I'll second Debian. I toggled between Ubuntu and Fedora for 10 yrs. Too many dodgy updates on Fedora, too much "is that package a deb or a snap" on Ubuntu. After working in RHEL based companies for many years, I switched to Centos and fought the out of date packages (sometimes building stuff from source) until the IBM takeover. Debian has been a good middle ground with newish packages that I rarely have to fight to get my work done.
