What distros would you recommend for use on a (non-gaming) Laptop?
I would prefer something based on Debian, like Ubuntu or PopOS, but I'm open for other suggestions as well, as I'm looking for a distro to daily-drive on my new Framework laptop.

Consider Fedora Linux! It strikes a thoughtful balance between being up-to-date (e.g. Arch) vs stable (e.g. Ubuntu LTS): its kernel and packages are very recent but tested thoroughly on the system before release.
Fedora is also known for pushing forward new Linux technologies like Wayland, Pipewire, Flatpak, as well as the latest versions of GNOME.
I use Fedora on my Framework laptop, and it works great! Specifically, I use Silverblue, an official variant that makes the system immutable and image-based, which has various stability/maintenance benefits.
Whatever distro you choose, be sure to check Framework's docs for setting it up: https://frame.work/linux
