Logos and soft branding are important for my aesthetic pleasure so I like Fedora GNOME with Papirus icons and Oxygen Blue cursors. Manjaro GNOME, similarly set up, would be my second choice.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

DDE?
Mint with Papirus icons and blue accent colour set to match the folder icons of Papirus theme.
Elementary has some very clean sober themes. I fell in the tilling windows craze and ricing so I'm sporting an Arch (I use it btw) with AwesomeWM, so very minimalistic.
I like the look of tiling wms with a top bar. Hyprland looks especially nice with rounded corners and color gradients. Too bad it's not stable enough to be my daily driver at the moment.
elementary! It’s macish, but I still think pantheon is my favorite DE
I tried their icons on KDE (there is a theme) and these old, very detailed icons just dont make sense. Too much color, very incoherent style and way too much detail that you cannot see anyways.
But I have not tried it, as I was too dumb that you need Javascript to have the payment download button work.
I use the La Capitaine icon pack because I agree, the default icons are pretty meh
Very cool and unique iconset!
Debian with the Awesome WM. I'm biased because that's what I use.
I like the default look of Nitrux
Deepin looks great, I wouldn't use it but it looks great.
Nitrux looks pretty nice
It's dead now, but Apricity was the first distro I really enjoyed the look of. Now I know better than to care about out of box appearance.
Out of the box experience is valuable though. No every user wants to tinker for an afternoon to make a system suit their needs. Some want to install and go, nothing wrong with that.
Out of box experience is a personal preference. It always has been. Every person expects something different so I don't really care about it anymore.
Manjaro Sway
I like simple default, so it is easier to customize. But If I have to keep the default I would say Garuda.
