I switched nearly two years ago, at first to Fedora Workstation (because GNOME looked neat), then I moved to KDE Plasma (still nuts you can do that by the way, just swap out your desktop). About a year ago I distro hopped to EndeavourOS, which is Arch with small tweaks to make it nicer (but closer to vanilla Arch than CachyOS), still with KDE, and just last week I switched to Niri + Noctalia and am very happy! Linux is awesome and superior to Windows in every way for my usecases

I've recently convinced a sibling to dual boot Fedora KDE too!
