There is no such thing as “better” really. It’s more about how much you want to tinker.
I ran arch and slackware 10-15 years ago. Now I have a job where I need to get actual work done so I don’t have the time or energy for that anymore. I run mint.
Use something that fits your goals.
At a base level though, really there is very little difference. Any app can be run on any distro. Again, depending on how much you want to wrestle with things.
