Debian. I distro-hopped a lot but I always return to it. It’s like a kit you can turn into anything you want. As stable, bleeding edge, minimal or full-featured as you want, for all kinds of devices, with great third-party support and documentation.
Currently I run a minimal, stable Gnome system with a newer kernel from backports and Flatpaks for my apps.
The only thing it isn’t good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots. Both are possible to set up, but it’s an involved process, and I’d rather depend on regular backups.
(The answer is to write a script that mounts / rw, runs the upgrade, then mounts it ro again. But figuring out the edge cases isn’t something I want to get into.)

And how do you then run apt upgrade?
