The two things that matter when choosing a distro - package managers and desktop environment/window manager. And even then, universal package managers like Flatpak, Snap and AppImage can provide a substitute for the package managers.
Even DE doesn’t really matter, as you can change that. And if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, most major distros have versions available with all major DE options, or let you pick during the install process.
I was trying to find what ran best, while still being usable, on a cheap mini pc I picked up and installed a bunch. I simply picked my DE from a drop-down menu on the login screen.
