    • GNOME: Fedora / Ubuntu / Bluefin

    • Cinnamon: Linux Mint
    • COSMIC: Pop!_OS
  • rolling release: Manjaro / EndeavourOS / Arch

Deepin is also a good distro with great aesthetics, but is more focused at a Chinese audience. It seems to be the best option if you want a Chinese language distro.

  • standard: Rufus / Etcher
  • multiple OSs: Ventoy

Ventoy can store multiple ISOs on the boot drive, and you don’t need to reformat the boot drive every time you want to add a new ISO! Also, you’re able to use a Ventoy drive as a regular USB stick as well to store regular data.
