By research I've done Elementary, Solus and Mint came up often.
Experienced Linux developers, which Linux distro did you find to have the best UI? I'm not talking about opportunities through customization and settings, but distros out-of-the-box.

It has to be Deepin
deepin.org/en/2020/09/11/deepin-20...
NO don't ever try DEEPIN OS !!!
Try Deepin DE if you accidentally falled in love with it
Distros like Fedora or Endaevor OS or Garuda Linux with deepin interfaces are much better if you like Deepin Look.
Still, I recommend KDE or cinnamon or Gnome over deepin
Looks clean, thanks for the recommendation 👍🔥
Deepin OS is a Spyware
linuxinsider.com/story/deepin-linu...
Nothing in that article says that... it actually even says the opposite.
"None of my expert sources were aware of any occurrences involving spyware or malware embedded in the OS code related to Deepin Linux or any other distros. However, a concern did surface last year surrounding Deepin’s website and Appstore, according to Daniel Smith, head of threat research at Radware."
I believe deepin 15 had great look, but disagree for deepin 20
Yeah they've got rid of the nice sidebar for the most recent version
No software produced in CCP controlled China can be trusted. But it is pleasant looking, too bad.
I've heard a similar argument for why you shouldn't trust NSA created SELinux.
With Open Source you don't need to trust. You can read the code.
As opposed to closed source software produced by American corporations. Apparently our corporations have no interest in survival of the species, or retaining a Democracy.
Then try UbuntuDDE which uses only the open source parts of Deepin desktop
Ubuntu came in the news for sending searches to Amazon. Not sure if they still do though. Just mentioning it.
They removed that a couple of releases ago and it only affected the main Gnome based release, not other desktops
Its Open Source and even if you are a little bit tech savvy , it wouldn't be hard to remove all the preinstalled bloatwares.
Elementary OS is my pick for best out of the box beauty. Obviously there is so much more you can do with it than what comes out of the box but if a s̶h̶i̶p̶ OS leaves port and has every piece replaced one by one, is it the same s̶h̶i̶p̶ OS when it comes back?
i also like they privacy focus.. privacy + elegance = win
I am using Pop!_OS with Orchis theme
yes, Pop!_OS is awesome.
I've been using Pop!_OS! for about a year. Even out of the box it is visually pleasing.
Try KDE on Pop and you love it more :))
awesome theme! thanks!
I tried lots of them and finally stayed for longer with vanilla gnome (on fedora). It has the biggest community working on it, so it's the most professional desktop: simple but elegant and consistent. And well thought, without random features
Just try Garuda Linux
garudalinux.org/
Loved Garuda Linux !!!
With BTRFS and automatic snapshots, Garuda Linux is my most loved Arch Based Dsitro.
It also has best theme pre installed in KDE Edition.
The Website is
garudalinux.org/
Personally, I can't really consider a distro beautiful unless it works well. Here's one of the workspaces on my Manjaro KDE with Latte dock. Pop!_OS is also pretty nice. Deepin and Elementary look nice, but the appearance is superficial.
It has to be Manjaro + KDE!
Is this out-of-the-box? Looks super clean 🤩
Nope, With some Customizations, it looks Cool!
Yeah, I noticed by installed apps 😉
I'd say Pop is (don't know how it's spelled properly 😂). It is the very same Ubuntu everyone loves, but adding a tile window manager (which can be turned off if you don't want it), a beautiful log in screen and overall great icons!
XFCE + whatever you like. For me it's Adwaita GTK theme + Elementary-Xfce icons (both have light and dark variants so i can use it with night mode as well).
Can't ever take XFCE seriously until they get rid of that stupid Orage calendar "applet." It's so terrible.
I go for Ubuntu simply because it's the biggest and most popular one, with the broadest support and the biggest community ... Linux is already fragmented and obscure enough, and this consumes a lot of effort and energy - standardization on one popular distro has many advantages.
Oh and if it's not about distro per se but about UI/window manager, of course Ubuntu supports many but I'd just go for Gnome Classic, simple, no frills and productive.
