Fedora atomic GNOME aka silverblue

It has very good defaults, works out of the box, I can switch anytime to another de or a ublue image without messing around with my setup
selinux
podman
flatpak centric
auto updates
widely used

Current Cons:

openssl is not installed by default (for gsconnect)
gnome-tweaks is not installed by default
uses toolbx instead of distrobox. Toolbx is better for servers, distrobox better for desktop, imo.
flatpak firefox isn’t used

Opensuse micro has distrobox as the default shell. It still needs some work before i daily drive it tho

And it uses firefox flatpak and iirc it installes gnome tweaks by default. Opensuse does right what fedora missed until today.

But, ostree is incredible. There’s no ostree on opensuse and what do I want with btrfs snapshots if I can have ostree’s image based approach? I love opensuse for tumbleweed but fedora rocks with ostree. I could switch to a ublue image but I can also just overlay the packages which isn’t that bad. It’s just bad for newcomers. And no newcomer should have to use ublue because the official image lacks stuff. But it is what it is.
