Depends on your needs and level of experience in Linux.
Desktop:
For beginners I'd recommend MX-Linux or Linux Mint Debian Edition.
For advanced users with special needs I'd recommend Fedora, Arch or Fedora based Qubes.
Server:
Debian. Imho state of the art.
My laptop is a Rog Zephyrus and gets terrible battery life. Wondering if thereās a distro I can run thatās going to be low power?
Iām biased towards Debian derivativesālong time Ubuntu user. But Iāve been considering Qubes lately due to its containment scheme.
Linux is not really well known for lng battery duration. U might give a try to the package tlp.

#Qubes, awesome and state of the art of security focused distros, is imho not really suitable for the "average" user. For most people firejail provides a pretty good "sandboxing" alternative which can be installed on every distro.
