What would you say is the most reliable, "it just works" distro currently? (sh.itjust.works)

Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I've had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I'd like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I'm mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.

Mint, debian, fedora, Ubuntu, freebsd, tails have all been pretty simple experiences imo

Pretty much just stay away from cutting edge, rolling release, build from source, beta, testing branch etc and you'll be fine, look for something with LTS in the versions name
