How come Fedora is never mentioned in these sorts of posts? It's really beginner friendly.
Yeah I'm incredibly impressed with Fedora. Rides the fine line of cutting edge, without tipping over, any time something matures enough to adopt, so it's still stable—which means I've found the typical Linux faffing about is optional if I want to do it, rather than mandatory, which isn't always the case for distros that adopt cutting edge sooner.
That said, distros that pioneer new stuff quickly can be fun in their own right, but right now I'm just happy to have that balance.
Another thing I've found is that it makes tinkering easier any time I want to try something new, since the whole distro tends to be on newer but still stable packages, so there's less breakage. That isn't always the case on Debian based distros which can sometimes be a little too conservative to make adopting newer things simple, or bleeding edge distros where things tend to break just by virtue of being bleeding edge.
It's quite literally the Goldilocks distro for me and my needs right now.
