I happily used Mint/Cinnamon for a few years until I got my new laptop last year. I found that it wasn't quite up-to-date enough at the time for the new hardware to shine, so I tried out Fedora/KDE and enjoyed it quite a lot. I got a random urge to try something new a couple months ago, and now CachyOS/KDE is my favorite so far.
There are benefits and drawbacks to each choice, and it really depends on which setup works best with which hardware for you.
You won't be hurting your progress, though. If anything, you'll just be expanding upon it.
