There isn't "a best" exactly.

There are some things to consider though.

  1. What hardware are you using?
  2. Are the latest Video Drivers available for the distro you are considering?
  3. How much configuration do you want to do?

Its a nuanced question. There isn't a 1 size fits all approach to this.

For me, going Arch was the move. It fit my usage habits.

Intel Core i5-7300HQ, GeForce 1050 Ti. I know the proprietary Nvidia drivers work on Ubuntu-based and Fedora-based distros, and I think arch-based.
