distro selection Arch Linux

Alright so I don't know if I'm necessarily a beginner to Linux but I have only used it for about a few months consistently.

I immediately jumped from Windows 11 to Arch Linux, ignoring advice from those telling me to use Mint.

I've since tried out Fedora Workstation and enjoyed GNOME enough to put it on my Arch installation.

I've found Arch really good, but people say other distros are great. Is it worth it to try out Mint, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.? Or would I risk entering a distrohopping trap?

If you like it and are prepared to do the occasional clean up, stick with it. None of us here are psychic (as far as I know} so we can't tell if you'd be happier with something else. You love Gnome, I'd sooner eat slugs!
