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.

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.
