Not really.

CV/ML takes a lot of resources, so If you wanted to have an advantage by choosing a certain linux distro, I'd suggest one that sets up a super minimal system.

In reality, choose any distro. Want suggestions? Then perhaps linux mint If you are new to linux.

I have been using debian and ubuntu together on different systems, and I wanted to know if I can do things more efficiently, ubuntu distro bloat is real, but when I try to use Debian, it is coming from behind on drivers and packages. I appreciate any suggestions.

The default Debian version is focused on stability, so you'll only find battle-tested releases in it. That's why it's called "stable", if you're feeling more adventurous than that, you could try "testing" or even "unstable". 20+ years ago I daily drived an unstable desktop. At that time it had literally what was released hours ago, but you were always risking it to stop working after any update. You should check these versions if you like Debian.
