The problem is that some particular security settings are not compatible with a "generic good ux", so there are limits to "how secure" a linux distro ready to use can be.
I frankly wouldnt use any ready to go distro; I prefer gentoo with my fine tuned configs or openbsd. Alpine linux or arch/artix also are good options in my opinion.
The problem with these minimal distros is that they require time for experimenting and to develop competence. But the maintainance time at some point become zero, because there are few things that can break and you have put them in so you know whats broke; so when you are competent enough you know how to maintain these distros in pretty zero time (if there's a new problem you dont know how to fix... LFG a new thing to learn!!!).
If we just want compatibility with software and development tools, a debian or a linux mint will do the job with a goox ux and will be "secure enough" for a lot of use cases.
