Debian or Alma
Rocky Linux would meet all of your needs easily and give you 10 years of support.
Kubuntu and other Ubuntu derivatives are okay. they still use apt/flatpak on their software center
Not the official ones
as long you stayed away from Ubuntu GNOME made by canonical and stick to other Ubuntu derivatives like Kubuntu,Xubuntu etc. they are good and stable distros without forced snap (I know Thunderbird,Chromium and Firefox got snapped because of the backend side. So, this is not their fault and you can switch to other ppas to mitigate this) and their software center app like discover still prioritise apt and flatpak.
I'm running Garuda as a daily driver for work and casual gaming. No problems
Before I was running debian and loved it as well
Ubuntu was a good intro but I left them when they made Unity default (and not ready imo) and was surprised to find I never missed it
Tails. It may not be designed for LTS, but it appears to be stable and secure.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
