One of my all-time favorite wallpaper finds (LINK: https://wallhaven.cc/w/g8xlxd). The Waybar and Hyprland window borders are color sampled directly from the wallpaper itself. The other color/icon/cursor/terminal themes are listed in the fastfetch output.
Just plain old XFCE with "off the rack" configuration. Just like how this background looks with the Kripton-GTK theme and Gruvbox-Plus-Dark Icons.

My starting point was an old set of JaKoolit dot files. I think the latest can be had here.

Well, here's the Waybar config (some things are commented out as I'm endlessly tweaking it...)
{
//
// Reminder: The last statement in a module block cannot
// be commented out or waybar won't launch.

It's borrows from "Matrial-Black-Cherry, Kora Grey Icons, and "Derp" for the Foot Terminal theme. Also, you can use hyprpicker to sample colors as needed from the wallpaper or wherever.

The thing next to the clock is my own module that launches Gnome-Endeavour task manager on a click and Valent (implementation of KDE Connect) on a right click.
Some of the other custom modules I originally got from JaKoolit but, I may have tweaked some of them a bit as I just kinda used him as a "startiing point". (I've also completely hacked-up the way the clock module works).

Playing with deep reds and greys on Hyprland.
Maybe he'll be staying there? They could call it "Mar-a-Uh-Ohh"?
Nah, it's Genesis, she's holding it upside down....
I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.
For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.
Maybe he hasn't found his face yet? , or all of his donors?
For those asking, I found the wallpaper at wallhaven.cc. After some searching, was able to find a link...
