I've used Debian more than any other distro. It's the Toyota 4Runner of the Linux world, in that it may be late to the game when it comes to it's design and tech, but what it does use is mature and reliable.
The thing you gotta remember with Linux is that, unlike Windows, it gives you access to all of the controls and the entire instruction manual. You have so much control that you can straight up tell it to delete itself, and as long as you include the

But, as with most Linux distributions, some advanced configuration might be required for expanded capabilities, such as playing Windows-only games on steam, running a DAW with external hardware, and other things of that nature, due to Linux's immense flexibility with so many architectures and configurations.
