My Debian box is Xfce. Years ago I installed Ubuntu, decided I really 
didn't like gnome, and added a KDE DE. I ran it for several years but it 
was fragile with unexpected interactions. That soured me on switching DEs 
after the install.

For this box my first attempt was Kubuntu. It had problems with the 
installation and I wound up hosing the original Win 11 and not having a 
working Linux. I had a Ubuntu iso that installed so I went with it. 

The stuff I normally use is on whatever passes for the taskbar on that 
particular OS so they're really all the same for most purposes.
