It looks like my time with MacOS is rapidly coming to an end. Any Linux distro recommendations these days?

Windows 10 with WSL if you have a laptop.

Debian or similar or ArchLinux if you have a desktop.

Depends on the laptop. I've had good experiences with thinkpads and business class Dells on Linux (and BSDs, for that matter).

Same.

Probably. My ThinkPad has so many issues and unsupported features according to the ArchLinux wiki that I don't even want to try.
