With minimum knowledge I'd probably go for #Ubuntu or #LinuxMint but with a little effort, if you have the time, you might look at #Manjaro for maximum #speed boost.
The really big advantage with a #deb based distro is most big #software companies now have install files for them.
A lot of #linux fans will tell you to stick with what's in the #repo but if you really need a certain piece of software it's shame to set you up for a dealbreaker before you start.
I expanded a rant I recently wrote here into a larger essay for my blog. It's about the issue of due process and the weaponization of speed itself as a tool to deny it.
Speed Kills

This time the ISP decided to drop the amount of bandwidth that it gives to the clients, the paying clients without any nice warning
Feast yourself on the amount of bandwidth I get for the ridiculously high amount of money in USD
My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.
This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.
Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.
Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.
In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.
I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot
As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection

Earlier today, the Parker Solar Probe set two space records: closest approach to the Sun and fastest-ever human object, hitting a speed of 191 km/sec.

This is the quality of the connection from the hospital's Wi-Fi, 2 km from home, from a comfortable table in the corridor, warm and next to the café.
The aroma of coffee and pastries envelops everything. Perhaps it would be better for me to come work here in the morning...

"0-60 time" is a car metric that needs to die.
Even today’s slowest cars are quick enough for normal driving. Blazing-fast acceleration serves no purpose, and it shreds tires while endangering others on the street.

The European Council says that the time is right for enabling the continuous improvement of road safety.
It encourages public authorities to mandate a maximum road travel speed of 30 km/h in areas where active and vulnerable road users and vehicles mix in a frequent and planned manner
