*Desktop Environment more important than distro*
The user facing system is not the distro but the DE. KDE Plasma, Gnome and Cinnamon are different. Try them via a live USB version. It's really personal preference. Mint is Cinnamon and really not easy to change. Ubuntu Studio is by default KDE Plasma but trivial to use/install other. Most other distro are DE agnostic as well. Just try to avoid multiple DE installations at once.
