If you insist on running unverified, third party, anon operating system with no terms of service or warrancy, and trust it with your credentials, then go for something least shady like Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu.
Debian (what I'm on) or Arch. Void is the best in my opinion, but its repositories are small. If you're autistic, Gentoo. If you're a boomer, Slackware (only one here that I haven't tried). If you're a beginner, Mint. Forks (excluding Mint) need not apply.
I read a bit about Funtoo a while ago to see what it does differently than Gentoo, and I couldn't see its purpose--unless you're loyal to its creator. The idea behind Funtoo is that it's a bit easier to get started over Gentoo since you choose the ISO with the flags set for your CPU's microarchitecture and the desktop environment setup (GNOME) is prepared for you (profile and USE flags are set). Basically, it's Gentoo without some of the work.
So it's an easier to setup, rock solid distro? Why wouldn't it be recommended?

The compilation times will be really long since flags will be enabled for functionality thus pulling in a lot of dependencies. >rock solid distro?
It should be for the most part, but sooner or later you will run into problems that require some experience/knowledge to fix. >Why wouldn't it be recommended?
It's like the worst parts of Gentoo (compile times) without its best parts (customization). I mean you could get into that stuff on Funtoo, but the wiki advises you not to touch portage, make.conf, etc. Those who are experienced and use Gentoo choose to because it gives them the tools to tinker with their system. Overall, it's pointless. I already think Gentoo is a waste of time, so I wouldn't recommend any distro based off of it unless you use your PC as a toy or want to look 1337 or some shit.
I would say the only distros you should choose from are: Linux Mint, Debian, Arch/EndeavourOS, and Fedora.
Linux Mint is quite comfy, especially for users transitioning from Windows.
Debian is great too but isn't as beginner-friendly as Mint.
Arch is excellent if having the most up to date software is important for you. It's surprisingly stable for being bleeding edge but it's more likely that you will be forced to dive into the nitty gritty of Linux at some point.
Fedora is a nice combination of the above mentioned.
honestly this. arch is moronicly stable for tinkerer.
frick ubuntu, it will fall apart on random update. didn't use debian, but seems nice for install and forget.

it is actually. Ubuntu is based on Debian Testing which means more up-to-date packages. it also has OOTB third-party drivers, custom kernel patches made by Canonical and large vendors support. it also has a good implementation of Gnome imo, but if you don't like it you can always change your DE, no big deal.

all debian needs to do to be king is:
1) make an x86-64/arm rolling release distro intended for end users (no, testing and unstable do not count) including any ubuntu improvements
2) have documentation as good as archwiki
it will never do this because it is under-resourced and short-sighted

why the frick would I want that Black person company touching my kernel? I would trust it far more if you said it was just debian with a skin and some adware
They're all pretty much identical. The only difference is the software that comes preinstalled and the repos. I'd say avoid debian unless you know what you're doing bc their repos are so outdated. Also, rolling release is nice because you install once and never have to hop again. Arch, OpenSUSE Thumbleweed, Gentoo (if you're into that kind of thing), probably some others.
Mint if you want something that just werks and gets out of the way
Arch if you are autist and like to tinker
Xubuntu if your and old ass computer
Debian if you want stability on your server
>best Linux distro in 2024
NixOS. Mogs Arch, Gentoo and Void.
If you're a noob that doesn't care for the hard to learn distros as previously mentioned then I'd say something Ubuntu based without snaps like Pop OS or Linux Mint.

What about Funtoo? It was developed by the original Gentoo developer
I read a bit about Funtoo a while ago to see what it does differently than Gentoo, and I couldn't see its purpose--unless you're loyal to its creator. The idea behind Funtoo is that it's a bit easier to get started over Gentoo since you choose the ISO with the flags set for your CPU's microarchitecture and the desktop environment setup (GNOME) is prepared for you (profile and USE flags are set).

As someone who used it for years, you always end up wanting newer unless your needs are very specialised
