Distro hopping is just finding your groove with different package managers and package types. You'll eventually find one you like. Also some distros just don't have the absolute latest package versions outside of the testing repos
As far as desktops go, you can pretty much pick one regardless of your distro unless you pick a distro that is purely made for a single desktop environment. Even then you can still use whatever you want you'll just have to jump through a few more hoops.
There's also distros who aren't using Wayland by default. These are still on xorg but also often offer the option to use Wayland.
