From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pop_OS. Everything just works great out of the box.
Alternatively, don't use Pop_OS. I installed it on an ex's laptop because it was easy but it'd have all the same problems as Ubuntu without the helpful diagnostic tools and extensive documentation. Hers messed up far more than my Arch install
I started with Zoro which is a windows look alike, tried mint and a few other distros but ultimately landed on Fedora.
Fedora has been great and I haven't been tempted to leave since trying it out a few years ago.
I use Nobara which comes with drivers for Nvidia and stuff just works. It's very noob friendly.
I had several drives in my PC, so I wiped a small one and just installed a few different distros and figured out what I liked. I ended up sticking with nobara with KDE.
