It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

Garuda "Dragonized" looks horrid, but personally I really enjoy "Mokka".

I only disabled one or two window effects, left everything else as is. I also added some System Monitor widgets. Here's my primary and secondary screen.

I think it looks great. Other than the unusual colour theme, nothing really gives off a "pr0 g4merzz" vibe, IMO.
