If you're comfortable with Linux definitely, I'm using Debian stable both at work (Latitude) and home (Thinkpad) for several years now. One issue with Debian was the lack of support for proprietary firmware in the stock installer from the Debian web site. A lot of people trying Debian and not aware of this ended up stuck with no WiFi support during installation for example. But this has been fixed, the Debian Bookworm stock disk image includes firmware now.
