Kde is a good choice if you enjoy configuring you Desktop. Also it works nicely with some extra desktop tools like cairo docks.

When you try KDE yoi should definitly try out KDE Connect, it is a nice way to connect you phone and your Laptop.

If you are just looking for something modern looking, you could also try deepin. (but dont use original distro because of privacy).

I like KDE Connect quite a bit. Its a great tool to show of in front of my Windows friends and super usefull for media control.
