You mean GNU/Linux. The name of the operating system is GNU. Linux is the kernel that is most frequently included with GNU desktop distributions.

arch linux

I've used Debian GNU/Linux for almost ten years now, and I've never been disappointed with it. The package manager is what makes it so great, and it's the reason that they decided to base Ubuntu from it. However, depending on your situation or your computing needs, running something else might be more your game. What exactly do you want out of a Linux-based system? Do you want it on the desktop? Server? A school project?

I recommend you install a new brain so you can stop posting like a retard.

There is no best, there is what is best for your use case. What are you using a computer for? To web browse on a old computer? To play games? To host a file server?
If you are playing games then get arch linux for the best performance. If you are web browsing get denavue. File server means going straight to openbsd.

doesn't Debian comes with Gnome 3 ? that thing is literal cancer.
personal desktop
mostly for web browsing, so it has to have flash player too.

Debian doesn't "come" with anything. I'm currently running the Cinnamon desktop on one PC and awesome-wm with compton for compositing. You can also run it with KDE, LDXE, or any special snowflake desktop environent or window manager you want. You can even do a terminal only install, so that you don't have to deal with any of the desktop shit, and browse the internet using w3m, and browse your files from the command line or use something like ranger, and yes, you can even have image support and video support in that mode.
Now, since you say personal desktop, I'll tell you that you can indeed use debian for that. I'm using it on an old as fuck laptop right now, and it works perfect. As for flash, I'm going to go ahead and tell you to kill yourself. You can use gnash and like it.
