Install Qemu and have a play with Kernal Virtual Machines to try other distros. You can get a feel for them in a near native speed and find something you like.

Even if you stay with your current distro, VMs are useful. I have a Win11 VM (fully licensed), as well as some dedicated linux VMs sandboxed for testing software, and a VM set up with a VPN for torrenting, plus a variable number that I play with to learn linux. I've set up Arch from scratch in a VM just for fun/interest for example.
