I’m literally the opposite. I have been on Red Hat since Halloween and all servers I have ever touched have been Red Hat or a close fork of RHEL. When I decided to go Linux for my daily driver and more self hosting I went Pop!_OS on my laptop, Linux Mint for my wife, and Linux Mint Debian Edition for all my home systems.
I realize that’s it’s completely irrational, but I hate the name Pop!_OS, such that it may have kept me from checking it out to-date! I think it’s so stupid. And why does it need the exclamation mark?? But maybe I should look into it…

Red Hat is for work. Debian is for life.

I actually do not recommend it at the moment. They are working on their new DE (Cosmic) so the current stable release is very old.
They have released a newer version with COSMIC as the default DE
How is cosmic? My Pop system is my main system, so I need to be cautious.
It is pretty polished to be daily driven. However you might miss some more features in settings and such if you’re coming from something like KDE.
Corporations refer to this as work-life balance.
