Okay nerds, tell me about your favorite Linux desktop distro

Points for:
* I don't want an operating system as a hobby
* It needs to "just work" for everyday tasks (sound, video streaming, printing, scanning, etc)
* Most of my games already work under Steam's Proton layer
* I'm not a Linux newbie, I've been using it for development for 30+ years and have multiple servers in various flavors
* Debian based distros preferred overall
* No GenAI
* Bonus round: Wayland vs KDE Plasma
