Re: trying to find Linux daily driver
If you're serious about the "challenge" part, try Nixos.
I love it because it gives me predictability about what's installed, repeatability when I set up a new machine, and it eliminates cruft.
It's just not something I normally recommend, because there's a heck of a learning curve involved. However, it's my daily driver, so why not see how far you get?

I'm slow, but I get there eventually.
Re: trying to find Linux daily driver
Only you can answer your question as to what distribution is right for you.
When I first started with Linux-based systems in 2006 I tried to create a custom, minimalist system and failed miserably; I didn't know enough at the time. I then installed Ubuntu and was happy. Since then I've used Xubuntu, Arch Linux, and Ubuntu MATE.
I think your best bet is to try out "live" versions of various distros (without actually installing anything) and see what you like. You may find you have a strong preference for a particular desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, MATE, Xfce, etc.). Another factor is whether the distro is a "rolling" release (continually updated, such as with Arch Linux) or gets major updates at specified intervals (such as Ubuntu).
Enjoy your search.

Re: trying to find Linux daily driver
I'm using Lubuntu at the moment on my netbook, as it is fast and my netbook is old. It doesn't have too many programmes pre-installed which is nice.
I have been using Ubuntu Studio for my audio workstations as it is already set up for audio. It has a lot of pre-installed programmes.

Re: trying to find Linux daily driver
On old computers I use to use Debian (10 or 11) LXDE as a daily driver, at times with IceWM also.
For audio stuff AVLinux has run fine on my machines - LibraZiK studio http://librazik.tuxfamily.org/base-site-LZK/english.php (Debian-based also) even better.
