It depends.

I think most people jump around distributions (commonly known as distro-hopping) because there's this big misunderstanding that distributions != Desktop Environments.

Personally I settled many years ago with Arch - Easy, unbloated install. I install different Desktop Environments when I want to try something different.

There's also now the misconception that Debian-based = stable and Arch-based = unstable, which was true for a time but is no longer true - Bleeding-edge on Arch often means any rare bugs that come up get fixed in a matter of hours. I run Arch for literally everything at this point (servers, desktops) and it just works.

Have to look into Arch again. Install is still not user friendly in my opinion, so some knowledge is needed.

You have two options, and they're both easy I would say.

1) Download the arch iso, boot up, run archinstall, select guided install, under extra packages choose the desktop environment you want and you're done.

2) There are Arch-based distributions. One such distro is EndeavourOS.
