Distro suggestions?

Currently running Kali on my laptop as that's all it was used for. Looking for something more general purpose. Mainly steam for light gaming and being able to install the tools from Kali for stuff like tryhackme. Mostly familiar with Debian, as that's what Kali is based on, but willing to try something else. Laptop is this Acer.

Fedora. I'd avoid Ubuntu and its derivatives like Pop! or Arch derivatives. I think Arch is fine, especially if you know what you're doing, but Arch derivatives in my experience are much less stable than for example Ubuntu or Fedora.

But seriously. Fedora. It's the best. Ubuntu is actually fine too but Blue > Orange

Lots of Fedora haters here, but I agree. Fedora is the best distro ever, especially if you like stock GNOME.

I love Fedora, especially Silverblue, but the telemetry thing lately creeped me out. Jumped to Debian with no regrets

Eh, it's opt-in so if even if you don't do anything, nothing changes.

It's perfectly fine to ask users if they're okay with telemetry. I'm fine with that. The problem comes when it's opt-out or if there's no way to opt-out.
