For me, that "coming back" Distro had always been Ubuntu but since ~2021, I'm toggling between Mint and Debian. That's largely due to them pushing the snap paradigm down our throats. At this point, it's virtually impossible to escape that as firefox is only available as snap package in Ubuntu and not as DEB.
On the flip side, I don't like the other version of snap (Flatpak) either, especially so since Red Hat pulled that proprietary shenanigan recently. In fact, anyone who is supportive of open source, free software or commons ethos should try to steer clear of anything related to RH after that.
