Ask HN: What would you consider a good “desktop power user” distro?

Which Linux distro(s) would you recommend to this kind of user? Details below: # General Preferences: - Mainly an experienced expert in desktop computer applications: From LO Calc to Double Commander to VLC and GIMP, and including at least one IDE or editor like VS Code or Geany - Expects a distro that has reasonable documentation - No preference as to window manager or desktop environment # Desktop Tooling: - Doesn't need a lot of hand holding at the desktop level, and can usually figure out desktop tasks intuitively - Appreciates some distro maintainer affordances: Quick configuration tools, wizards for common tasks, etc. - Has some basic understanding of the command line, but expects GUI tools for a lot of power user activities - Expects advanced access options for desktop user tools and interfaces # Programming and Scripting: - Wants the ability to run some basic servers, along with general programming & scripting - Would prefer some Autohotkey-type GUI scripting or general scripting access & community # Games, Media, & Cloud - Expects some access to all of the most common gaming systems & media codec support. Steam, etc. - Expects generally-good cloud integration with client tools # Peripherals - Expects above-average support for common peripherals and hopes for above-average peripheral support & configuration # Linux Admin & Sysadmin: - Does not want to maintain core linux system / is not a sysadmin, but runs a clean, well-maintained system generally speaking. - Does not typically need to manage more than their own user account ...That's all that's coming to mind. :-) Reasons / details on recommendations appreciated.
