An old article but spot on.

Linux is NOT Windows

A good good place to start.

Home - Linux Mint

Linux Mint is an elegant, easy to use, up to date and comfortable desktop operating system.

It doesn't matter you can install AI and ML tools on all of them, however I would go with a normal distribution instead of a pen-testing distribution if you are going to focus on AI and ML.

Assuming you have a little Linux experience, Arch Linux. I've done a lot of research lately and the consensus is that Arch is the most stable.

I am likely going to install it. But I have been using various distros of Linux for 30 years.

Unless you have experience of Linux and are Terminal competent, then you should not even be looking at any of the 20 or so pen testing distributions, I suggest you go to each of the distributions and carefully read ALL the release notes and documents for each,

The tools used are not exclusive of or developed by any one distribution but are produced by many using the GNU licence

Thread 'WHAT IS THE BEST LINUX DISTRIBUTION, WHICH SHOULD I USE ?'

Feb 8, 2023

This is the most asked question we receive, and the answer is, NO one distribution is better than any other, some may be a little easier for the newbie moving from Windows, some are designed for a specific task, and a few are for experienced Linux users only.
THE BEST DISTRIBUTION
Is the one that works best on your machine, The one you like the look and feel of, the one that lets you perform your daily tasks.
We recommend that you download around 6 different distributions with different desktops, and test them out "live" from a Pen-drive, You will not get a full speed experience, but...

Since you're asking which one is the best the answer for you is none of them because these 3 are no questions asked distros.

If you need to ask then I'd suggest Debian because you won't waste your time troubleshooting distro specific issues, Debian has the least of issues so it's good fit for a beginner and to focus on fundamentals.

I have Debian. Or Linux Mint Cinnamon. I got tired of the latter and wanted KDE Plasma.

Arch is the most stable.

I don't agree, I consider Arch to be stable rolling-release distro (compared to other rolling release distros), but not stable due to being rolling release.

I have Debian. Or Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Cheers for Debian, however Cinnamon and Ubuntu are two distros I don't really like.

I agree.

But Cinnamon is DE, not a distro.

Ubuntu is a distribution, Cinnamon is a DE most distributions that offer Cinnamon as default DE also offer alternatives if not at installation stage , then via the update manager

My mistake, I meant Mint not Cinnamon.

Welcome to the Forum.

Choose a Distro you like and find easy to use...only you can decide.

Have a look here...https://distrowatch.com/ plenty to try...good luck.

two recommendations:
1) dont use pen-testing distros as your daily driver.
2) rtfm.
2a) I like arch because of massive amounts of documentation
