Choosing your Linux distro

Question: I'd like to choose a new distro for my surface.

Although I do shitloads of terminal stuff, I'm an eye candy lover. Debian based please :)

I can deal with problems myself if they occur.

Anyone any ideas? (KDE neon/kubuntu/nitrux/mint have already been tried)

So I've finally decided to move from Windows to Linux. However, there are so many distros of linux available now which made me confused in choosing the right one.

What would be the best linux distro for a backend web developer? I don't mind if there would be a learning curve. Thanks

So I finally decided to switch to Linux.
And I need help choosing distro.
I know this is not a good place to ask this, I could just use google. But I want to hear it from you guys, from actual devs whose work with it every day, and not from some ***** bloggers whose barely know what is OS.
So please just write which distro you are using and if you are happy with it. I will be very thankful.

So, Ubuntu 17.10 or Elementary OS 0.4.1?
