I have played with fedora /red-hat, opensuse/suse, debian, ubuntu, slackware .
All goods, actually I'm using ubuntu.
Maybe fedora/opensuse with kde can be confortable for you .
BTW, I don't use tex from these distro, I always put all files under
/opt/luatex , compiling when necessary ;
it's in a someway distro-independent.
