The look and feel of a DE basically depend on the icons and wallpapers. Regarding the layout, we have about 3 types: traditional, horizontal dash and vertical dash. That's it. At the end, you can change them to get the best fit. So I think the beauty of Linux distro doesn't make sense. If any, it's the capacity of appearance customization, and some UX optimizations.

With me, the best one for destop is minimal Ubuntu/Debian, then XFCE4, then personalization. For laptop, I prefer Gnome, not Ubuntu customized version, but which one used by Fedora and Pop!OS, because on laptop I almost use keyboard shortcut, and Gnome helps to make use of the whole screen space.

If we consider only about the distro out-of-the-box, I think Fedora and Pop!OS have minimalist beauty.
