Mine was the Fedora KDE spin for a long time, but now I'm honestly not sure. Debian stable and ironically Arch seem to be the only ones that don't have weird quirks that break things these days.
I wanted to like Manjaro, but they seem to fail at basic things like keeping their certificates up to date. I held out hope back in 2004-2009 that Ubuntu would revolutionize things, but they've been way to hung up on reinventing things that weren't invented there (Unity, Mir, and of course Snap). Fedora got worse for me when IBM bought Red Hat, and I feel like its days may be numbered based on IBM's recent behavior. I still have weird problems with DNS lookups on Fedora that don't exist on other distros. OpenSuSE is too dependent on YaST. As for Mint, I don't like Cinnamon and they don't officially support KDE.
And any distro that only officially supports GNOME is a nope from me since I don't like current versions of GNOME at all.
