Linux distros recommandations
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly if OP just wants straight up productivity, I'd go with stable. They won't have to deal with constant updates and have a stable user experience for some time. They can use flatpak to have the latest and greatest productivity software if they need. But my guess is that one or one and a half year old LibreOffice/Inkscape/Gimp will be more than sufficient.
I'm gaming on Debian stable just fine. I don't get what everyone's thing with bleeding edge software all the time is. To me, "bleeding edge" means "higher chance for something to break and blow up in your face".
I'll wait until the bleeding edge distro users got hit with all the bugs first. My preferences were just justified by the recent xz backdoor stuff.
