@dingemansemark ok there is not a simple answer to this but with the apps you want to run, any of these distros will do just fine! I voted Fedora because out of the box it works well on most of the laptops I have tried. The one thing to be aware of is if you have a laptop with a dedicated GPU installed, the linux drivers (both proprietary and free) don't work well, i recommend using the integrated GPU instead. The next one is WiFi drivers, sometimes you have to dig for one that works. I recommend taking a week and trying all three distros and a couple of different DEs (gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, Mate, and cosmic) to see what you like and to see what distro works best. The only hard requirement I add to this is that you take your time and have fun with it, be open to change, and figure out why you like each variation. I am posting this using a ThinkPad using debian and gnome.
