I'm partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.

Pop!_OS is excellent. I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside.

I haven't really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I'll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.

if you are brave I suggest you endeavour os with i3wm.

Or sway :)

havent tried it yet. As Im relying on nvidia drivers Im still worshipping X11.

but from what I have heard sway is simply the wayland clone of i3wm?

I'd like to try Wayland + Sway. Do you have any recommendations for a starting config?
