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.

I'd say Linux Mint or Pop OS.
Otherwise, as other comments say, you can try Debian.
Don't forget elementary!
I'm bearish on Elementary. Their recent-ish drama where the founders split up doesn't seem good for long-term stability:

Yikes. Was this ever resolved? That was from march last year.
The founders don't like each other on a personal level, and I haven't heard about any updates since then, so until there's new life breathed onto the project somehow, I'm assuming that it's on the back burner at best.
Oh I didn't know this was happening, sorry to hear that :-/. (I had elementary back in 2016/17)
