EndeavourOS FTW
I'm using Fedora and I'm really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,
I'm partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.
Pop!_OS is excellent. I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside.
I haven't really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I'll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.
Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?
TempleOS
Try arch and you'll never distro hop again
I can't confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.

Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)
There are some really mixed answers here. I would stick to the mainline distros and not go for a fork with a few customizations. It does depend on what you want, especially if you are willing to learn using the terminal and if you want bleeding edge or more stability. My list would be:
- Debian
- Kubuntu
- Fedora
- Pop!_OS
- Arch Linux (If you want to learn Linux from its fundamentals)
Right now I would go with Debian. Newish release. Everything is up to date, and they are quite stable.
I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell
How about your own distro? https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
Classic distro hop thread. Every distro is suggested. :)
I've been using Kubuntu on my gaming PC for a couple years, and Fedora on my laptop. They both work.
Fedora since Podman UI desktop came, for long term usage..
I like rolling distros so Arch if you're in the mood for some tinkering and really customizing your system the way your want it or openSUSE Tumbleweed if you'd rather have it up and running quicker with a premade polish.
INSTALL GENTOO
If you know, you know.
I’m 0 for 1.
I'm running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.
I recently learned about TempleOS and it seems pretty fascinating. Maybe give it a whirl.
Arch Linux if you well speak with terminal, Artix if not, Gentoo if want some hard:) PopOS cool.
