    Not that you asked me, but I would recommend installing ventoy on a 32 GB+ flash drive if you have one, then grabbing any distros that look interesting from distrowatch then you can just drag-and-drop the .ISO files directly into the ventoy partition on your flash drive.

    Then, reboot your computer into ventoy where you can select from a list which distro you want to boot into. Pretty much every linux distro you will find has a live environment, meaning you can run it right from the USB drive without installing it.

    As for distrowatch.com, I'm pretty sure MX linux is astroturfed and isn't really one of the most popular distros. I would recommend giving each of these a shot; elementary, ubuntu, manjaro, fedora. I would also try out each of the major desktop environments; Gnome, KDE plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate.

    Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Fedora each have their own "spin" or "flavor" or "edition" based on each of the major desktop environments, but the environments themselves will be pretty much the same from distro to distro.

    No matter what you pick you should be able to do pretty much anything about as easily as on any other distro. Linux is getting pretty streamlined now.
