I stopped distro hopping after switching to Arch (with Sway WM), now my same installation is hopping across laptops instead.

It might not be friendly for new Linux users but I feel in control using it and keep it maintained and clean easily.

I usually recommend Vanilla OS for non-tech savvy people, in case you're looking for something that just works. It will probably become limiting for you after a while since you like tinkering.
