I prefer to have a minimal linux ditro and install the apps I need.
I believe the saying is that machines makes most of the manufacturing, simple and mundane services. Humans could then focus on research and development (improving machines), improving our living standard, medicine psychology and so on. And have time to do what you like.
I've used Ubuntu for many years, it is a good start for beginners. Although my new recommendations is Mint.
Linux Mint and a used thinkpad t480s.
It works great, and cost me the fraction of a new one.
