Arguably you can't beat Debian + KDE

Aktually, I prefer Arch + KDE. I say if you like your current desktop, then stay with it. I've hit the sweet spot with what I've got because I love the AUR, pacman, and paru.

I've used Arch before and I still keep an Arch distrobox container but my current usage requires stability.

What's more stable than blindly typing

$ sudo pacman -Syu

? /s

Tbh i do this for over half a year now and only had 2 issues were I had to reinstall the kernel after an update via a chroot

Maybe installing system packages through the AUR was a mistake but it's so tempting

Most of the software that I use is in the extra repo. In may other repositories there is for ex. no spotifyd or native prismmc client

I feel you. I don't agree but I feel you.
And I have installed hundreds of opensuse systems, many for new linux users.

But that was my choice as the sysadmin (well really one of my predecessors some decades ago). It isn't as amazing for self-administering newbies.

Another very good option

Just became a first time user (~48 hours ago) of KDE on Sparky distro and I'm pretty impressed.
