OK, so I have a framework laptop on the way and am trying to decide on a Linux distro to put on it. I’m going to main this laptop for dev-work, security research and maintaining my site. Who has opinions on what the best OS would be to use? I’m no Linux noob but also wouldn’t consider myself a pro by any means.

If you like Windows desktop, I would use Linux Mint

A popular cybersecurity distro is Kali Linux

Yeah I've used Kali a lot in the past for the job. More of a toolbox than what I'd want to use as a daily OS though. Mint is one of the options I'm definitely considering.
