Very interesting preferences. I like debian exactly for the opposite reasons, being able to run it in old hardware. I like the idea of lowering my time preference, like running linux on a 8gb ram(with MATE, not gnome) laptop with coreboot/libreboot and a 15-10 years old cpu. Debian goes hand in hand with that philosophy and that's why I like it so much.

Best linux distro for security and easy to use

With today's hectic software landscape, if you want a good user experience, you should choose a distro that releases important updates quickly, especially if you have, or plan to buy, modern hardware. So I wouldn't suggest debian.

I use Fedora KDE plasma desktop, great experience so far. 

Previously I've been using various flavors of Ubuntu LTS since 2008, but it never shipped "perfect" for my hardware, I always had to tweak something, unlike Fedora that just works 100% out of the box.


Qubes and everything else that uses virtualization is not worth it. Virtualization is not always secure by default, especially with shared peripherals, passthroughs and random hardware. And it is going to significantly impact your user experience.
