This is quite a rabbit hole you are getting yourself into, but to keep it short and relatively simple, you need to figure out something very important beforehand:

  • Do you want a rolling release or a stable distro?

I'm assuming that, you are not yet familiar with these terms, so let's go with the stable distros.

You have a lot of options here, most of them will all be based of Ubuntu, which is based in Debian, so let me drop a few generally good suggestions in no particular order:

  • Linux Mint
  • MX Linux
  • ZorinOS
  • PopOS
  • Fedora, (This one is not a stable distro, but you should be good with it)

Either of these is a good starting point. If down the road you feel like they stop fitting your needs, start exploring the big three, (Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux).
