Windows in a VM is a good idea but the way I distro-hop I should probably start with it the other way around. What is your main distro of choice?
I used to use Arch (still do on some systems), but my main these days is Nobara, a gaming and multimedia optimized distro, based on Fedora.
I would try different things to see what I liked but I always came back to Fedora. I haven't heard of Nobara but I like the sound of it; it looks like it bundles all the stuff I usually install the moment the DE is up and running.
If you like trying different things then I'd also recommend checking out BlendOS. It's a unique Arch-based distro that allows you to install and run packages from other mainstream disreos (making use of containers). You can even instantly switch between different DEs with a single command, which is nice for trying out various environments without polluting your system with tons of dependencies.
