I too agree with Eric on this.
I use MATE desktop. OpenSUSE is my 6th Distribution since I started using Linux - the end of Centos 5 support moved me full time to OpenSUSE.
I ran OpenSUSE as a guest under Centos as I used to support Walmart and they uses SLE.
I have some old computers that cannot run OpenSUSE but run Sparky Linux just fine.
I have 4 other flavors of Linux as Guest OS - just in case I have to switch again.
Mint and Manjaro both are contenders although Mint like Ubuntu is moving to flatpak too. But both have MATE as a desktop.
Yes. Manjaro has: Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, sway. Perhaps others. And what I really like is that you can install pre-compiled packages, but also have packages built on your own PC during "installation". Or you can just use git. And because of AUR, I feel there is significantly more software. The quality I could not check now yet. But I build packages under Suse, then ic will bring hes at Manjaro/Arch too. :-) Regards Eric
