   That is something each person has to figure out for himself/ themselves.   
   My personal everyday driver is Mint's Cinnamon I'm using here and which   
   Mint v. of Ubuntu I like better than Ub's decisions.  Mint has minty   
   tools, mint eschews Ub's snap, mint doesn't do gnome in favor of the   
   other gtk DEs Cinn, Mate, & XFCE.   
      
   But, since I like a lot of other things too, I'm 'always' dabbling in   
   alternates.  My favorite KDE over Ub is KDE neon, there are a lot of   
   things I like about MX over Debian and of its DEs I like their XFCE more   
   than their KDE.   
      
   In the example of Mint, Mint doesn't 'do' wayland at all; it isn't an   
   option.  No menu :-)   
      
   So if I 'suggest' Mint Cinnamon, it isn't actually because I think YOU   
   should choose that one, it is only because based on what I dabble w/,   
   which is a lot, it is my personal choice for my most active use.   
      
   I also use a KDE neon for 'other purposes' because I want to use its   
   Kleopatra and I like its file manager 'better' for those purposes, which   
   is mostly dl/ing linux .iso/s, and checking their hash, and   
   authenticating their key signature.   
      
   Also, in both cases I mostly use persistent live rather than installed   
   to hdd.  I use multiple machines to 'turn' from one system to another,   
   not any kind of dual booting.  A small percentage of the time I also use   
   a Win7 still installed on a refurbed desktop that mostly does linux   
   stuff on USBs.
