I've never run Mint or Debian on my home desktop but those seem like the obvious options.
I'm not installing Gentoo or Arch because my choice of distro is not based on insecurity about my peepee size and I'm looking for everyday ease of use and a large support base.
edit: currently installing mint debian edition pray for me brothers
edit2: mint debian thus far seems better/less buggy than ubuntu without major downsides

Debian is good but it's also kinda bad. Everything is so outdated. Imo making the OS be so intertwined with a specific python version was a mistake.
Edit: I only use it for servers for that reason.

I have been using mint for a couple years
Straightforward, works out of box, doesn't have problems that other linux also doesn't have
Debian is better if you want more customization without going full archtism

Yeah I'm leaning Mint.
LMDE maybe? Seems like it would be more secure to cut canonical out entirely. Also I am mad as frick about getting this shitty fricking ubuntu pro garbage on my god darn computer.

In all seriousness I would reccomend Fedora but apparently it sucks now so just go with mint, which I have had little problems with or Debian.

Debian is a good OS for servers as long as you take steps to harden it.

I would switch to Ubuntu. It even has a nice Pro version where they give you security fixes for free (for personal use)
It's the best distro hands down

The downside of Debian is that I'd imagine it's more fiddly in day-to-day use than something like Mint (or LMDE?) but I suppose it's hard to know if it's fiddly in a way that's actually annoying for me unless I try it out.

I just don't like how a lot of things don't come with a basic setup to get started with, and how I have to manually install certain packages that come by default on other distros for compatibility.

It's not bloatware. I just can't be assed to make my own config for every small piece of software running on my machine.
