Best free WordPress themes

I know this question has been asked a million times but allow me to make it a million and one.

I am about to launch a second website and have been scouring all the articles and blog posts on recommendations about which free WordPress themes are the best.

My current theme is Sparkling by Colorlib and although satisfactory for what I use it for, it is a bit too minimalist.

I don't want a theme that requires an engineering degree to operate but by the same token nothing that is so minimalist that I need a herd of plugins to get it to do anything.

I have had Hemingway suggested and it looks quite decent.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
