If you have a hidpi monitor, go with Pop!_OS. Their hidpi daemon is a breath of fresh air in the Xorg-mixed-dpi-clusterf*ck.

Manjaro KDE is very nice if you want bleeding edge. It's a rolling distro. Also, it's pretty damn fast.

On my to try list as a dev is Fedora.

But for now I'm sticking with Pop!_OS. Maybe I'll hop again when XWayland Nvidia support is finished and Wayland is more polished/daily driver material.

Also, as a dev, not wanting to use my mouse too much. The keyboard-driven aspect of Pop!_OS and the stacking & tiling is a game changer.
