I personally would recommend Fedora. It's not rolling release like Arch so packages might be a bit behind, but with Red Hat using Fedora as their staging distro it's usually not very far behind and occasionally even ahead. And you don't have to worry about updates breaking everything. It's also one of the big distros so it's well supported
There's no easy answer, the Linux Desktop world is more fractured today than ever. I use and like Ubuntu, Debian 11 has had driver issues for me. I don't like RPM distros. For Ubuntu, I had to uninstall snapd and pin it to never be installed. For Firefox, I downloaded it, unpacked it and use its Help menu to update it. I don't use Chromium because Ubuntu only ships it as a snap now, I use Chrome.
EndeavourOS is the easiest way to use Arch imo, its a pretty painless installation and gives you a working desktop environment out of the box & seems to be pretty good at detecting hardware and installing drivers too.
Your comment reminds me of quantum theory (you know, the part about observing...)
I didn't vote on your comment, but it looks like it contains "react" and got downvoted, so stating that "anything" would get upvoted obviously wasn't true.
However, if you hadn't had written it, the claim could have still been true.
So, your writing about some fact... might have changed it.
