I've distro hoped a fair bit myself, before settling on Fedora. Though I almost exclusively use Gnome.

I used Manjaro for about a year but they don't vet their updates as much as they should and about once a season it would break my system.

OpenSuse (2 months) felt clunky to set up for development while still somehow having a lot of bloat and installing packages felt overly complicated but it's probably great for web admin stuff.

Debian (1 week) needed to much work to get to a usable state with far too much of it being more out date than I would like, and I had issues getting non-free wifi drivers set up.

Fedora *just works* for me and rpm is simple to use.
