the reason I was saying to not use first time if you're new to Linux is because some users find it overwhelming especially with the additional toolbox and modules. I usually recommend beginners to use Debian so they can familiarize themselves with Linux in general, and the terminal.

That's pretty solid reasoning; I remember my first time using Kali around two years back when I wasn't very familiar with Linux. It was pretty distracting and I didn't end up learning much. Any user-friendly Debian distro (Ubuntu specifically, hooray for LTS) or a simple RHEL-based system like CentOS is a good place to start.

Edit: if you hate yourself, go with Arch or Gentoo right off the bat
