When i switched from windows i used mint im currently on fedora and manjaro i had no real trouble with either one of those.
But im mostly using my browser and some applications i need for coding.
I dont know what your use cases are but you can make a bootable usb with any one of those distros and test it out befor you actually install it anywhere.
If you have an old laptop ore something like this i would strongly reccomend testing on that and see what you like.
Also save all the data you need/want to keep before you mess with anything
Any other recommendations for non tech savvy people coming from windows?
Linux Mint it’s the mvp now. ElementaryOS is also nice, but more like macOS.
