Steam Deck made me fall back in love with KDE, and it's what I use with Arch on my desktop now. Second favorite is probably Cinnamon.
Try as I might I just can't with Gnome.
Did give it a go a few months ago, but was a bit congitively heavy with lots of menus and reading.
If you like clicking I think it's pretty nice with everything in reach + more.
Hate to say it but no, hyprland really is unless you need a windows like experience/don't want to configure anything.
- A love Hyprland, but KDE Plasma does so many things for you and saves time. If you want to change screen resolution in Hyprland, you need to check the wiki or man. In Plasma, you simply use the settings app. Each environment has its own purpose, and Plasma’s is for general purpose use.
  
  "Unless you don't want to configure anything"
- The beauty of linux is there is options!
  Different people prefer different things and you can freely choose between all the things!
  
  Of course, I recommend kde to people who don't want to configure anything and want a windows like experience, but when saying something is the best, as they claim, these qualifiers become important.
  best for what?
- Remember about cognitive effort, window managers are for people looking to invest time in learning keybinds and new workflows, Plasma and Gnome do a better job of satisfying a bigger userbase and most workflows are easy to port to another desktop environment.
  In my opinion that makes Plasma and Gnome the best desktop environments, no matter how much I prefer standalone window managers.
  
  That's why I said "if you don't want to configure anything"
- There is IMO (which stands for "in my opinion") in the title
