Mint for beginners. Ubuntu if you plan to work in the field since Ubuntu Server is widely used. He uses Fedora, and that also has RHEL in the wings. He loathes Omarchy. Said he was curious about CatchOS but is skeptical about it's top rankings on Distrowatch. If you're going to use an Arch derivative and really want to learn about Linux administration go directly to Arch. Said he used it but it does tend to brick sooner or later. He mentioned he's always been tempted to try NixOS but doesn't want to learn a specialized language to set up a system however he found it interesting France decided to use it. For someone looking for a job very few organizations use it so being a NixOS wizard doesn't do much on a CV. I don't think he even mentioned SUSE in passing.
