I have a Framework 13 (https://frame.work https://frame.work) running Arch. There are plenty of other distros if you value ease of installation. Pretty much all major desktops work fine; I use Gnome. There are a lot of options for devs, from the traditional toolset (emacs/vim, terminals, the toolsets provided by your favorite languages) to the latest in IDEs (VS Code[ium], Sublime, IntelliJ, Zed). Come on in, the water is nice. I've never found myself longing for anything else.
