You’re clearly wrong. The answer is Arch

OK, but seriously. There are two main general use families:

Debian based and redhat based

Pick something that has a DE out of the box. Use it. The big ones used to be GNOME and KDE. I dont know which one is more recommended now.

Find equivalent programs (ie. Notepad -> gedit, adobe pdf reader -> evince).

Figure out the windows start menu equivalent: how do I access my programs?

Maybe six months to a year later, learn how to use a terminal emulator.

Maybe a year later, switch to arch and find out why it’s superior
