Go with Pop!_OS

Very user-friendly and has a straightforward installation process, also comes with strong NVIDIA graphics driver support out-of-the-box if you are using nvidia gpu. Another advantage is the Pop!_Shop, which is akin to an app store and makes software installation easy for newcomers. The GNOME-based user interface is also intuitive and somewhat similar to Windows, easing the transition.

I'm experimenting with Pop_OS on a laptop as my daily driver after playing with different distros in VM environments over the years. There's definitely a learning curve, but so far so good.
