My first choice is
Manjaro (what is up with this not available stuff?)
You can get it here
MX or PopOS
. . . The more I use it the better I like all the easy tweaking options.
MX default boots to init and most command line examples these days is systemd so that can be confusing for less frequent Linux users. MX can boot to systemd but I haven't done it. Not sure wat happens after using init for awhile and then booting to systemd.
Memory Usage is impressive
Mint
Bohdi (if you need small footprint)
I can see why MXLinux is popular
... no systemd so use service like this "sudo service smbd status"
FYI ssh needs to be installed like any Debian
This will also tell you if it is running
ps aux | grep sshd
Here is a cheat cheat for reference
MX has firewall installed but not turned on.
