There are numerous distros available for every particular need. Right
now I am using Elementary 0 on my laptop which I like BUT I can't get
the wifi to work.
Most of the distros are based on  Ubuntu and are made for ease of use.

For Desktop use Ubuntu, and if you want to really get into it for
Server user Redhat. Free BSD is for real Unix command line gurus. I
would suggest you test distros out in a VM to decide which one to
install. And/or  all of them will run from a USB flashdrive but you
can't save anything.
