What are the top choices everyone would suggest in terms of Linux OS for reasonably upgraded packages, package availability in terms of dev/tech person and perhaps most importantly a sane and reasonably pain free upgrade path (no reinstall every year or something). |

I like plain old debian for servers. If you don't need new hardware support its bombproof and really well supported.
For laptops...Mint or Pop. Pop seems better to me than Ubuntu as its pretty slimmed down but most of the debian recipes work on it and it works with Nvidia laptops really well (as does Mint).
I can't really recommend Ubuntu any more. The snap thing is just not cool.
CentOS seemed cool when I ran it up in a VM recently, but since my server stuff is debian, I stick with debian variants.
