I would recommend checking out Cosmic by System76. It's getting a beta very soon but I've been using the alpha and straight their git main for months now and it's very stable.
It looks amazing and feels super snappy, I have never had such a painless Linux desktop experience.
It even has a tiling window manager functionality built-in that was enough for me to sway away from i3/sway.
But it also just works like a normal desktop that a non-technical user can use with ease.
I'm actually super excited about this project. Out of curiosity, does the compositor they use have HDR support? It's one of the features I miss on Linux desktops.

Not sure about Cosmic, but both Gnome and KDE support HDR these days. Hyprland does as well and I think support for it was also merged into Sway recently.
