If you're technical try Fedora. It's a bit on the bleeding edge side, but it's a zero-bullshit OS that mostly just works. Debian is another great option, but packages are a bit behind.

If you're not technical honestly just buy a mac.

I still have rpm PTSD from my youth :)

I've got hardware for a new home server that's waiting to be set up, and I was planning to put Devuan on it. Anyone has any impressions of that?

I have two :) And a couple linux boxes but I mostly ssh into them.

I haven't used desktop linux in ages (about 2013, when I switched from linux desktops to mac desktops).

Once in a while I run into the newest Ubuntu desktop for various reasons (this time I needed a server in a VM and I thought why not, let's install the desktop) and I'm astonished at the corporate style spamminess.
