I never liked KDE in the old days, but now it's the only choice in my mind.
If I had to pick a backup, probably xfce.

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.

I currently use Sway primarily. On my work machine, I have to use Zoom, so I use i3 on X1q which acts/feels virtually identical to Sway. (Or rather, the other way around. Sway was made to be a Wayland compositor drop-in replacement for i3 which has been around for a long time.)
You can run Zoom in a VM if you are so inclined. You just need GPU acceleration for video decode to have good performance.
Cinnamon is sold and easy to use. I use gnome but if I had to choose something else I would go cinnamon
Whoa, but the comma splice.
Are we doing popularity contests here?
Moksha DE is also good one. Budgie feels more bettter for new users than Cinnamon
Would openbox count?
80% of the full UI of a proper de but with 30% impact on really slow hardware.
