Garuda has - apart from their theming - a pretty decent setup
I figure first thing I am going to do with a new OS is change how it looks to my liking anyway. What’s underneath is pretty great imo - it was the only distro I tried that actually had working nvidia drivers for my laptop “out of the box”. I couldn’t even get it to play games with the bazzite image specifically for asus laptops with nvidia gpus. I was not smart enough to fix it.
You should try their Garuda Mokka distribution. Less theming & more work focused.
