Pop os and manjaro best choice.
Pop os or ubuntu
Elementary OS
Linux mint
And lastly ubuntu budgie
Ubuntu.
Linux Manjaro is good enough
Deepin Linux and zorin
Elementary OS : The cleanest, lightest , User Friendly distro based on Debian.
linux mint or ubuntu
Use garuda and thanks me later
Trying ZORIN OS will also be a great experiment
The user interface of zorin is super awesome
I was a windows user and now I am slowly shifting to linux by starting with zorin.
For starters I generally recommend Ubuntu or Fedora-based operating system with KDE, for example Kubuntu or KDE Neon. Here's a screenshot of my desktop running KDE Plasma 5.19.5 on Ubuntu 20.04.
However, if you feel that you have a less-powerful machine (e.g. those without dedicated GPUs) I usually recommend XFCE-based Ubuntu distros such as Xubuntu and Linux Lite.
I usually don't recommend Debian-based distros, except some such as MX Linux. Since Debian highly focuses on stability rather than frequent feature updates, some software in their repository may not be as updated as those in Ubuntu, including WINE (
winehq-stable
) which allows some Windows (.exe) programs to work under Linux. However, there is a workaround for this by manually adding new package sources/repository on APT.Ubuntu to start with and get a hang of linux.
Zorin OS as it offers similar features to Microsoft's your phone app and also looks like Windows with the ability of further customisation.
I would recommend Arch based distros if not vanilla Arch. Use EndeavourOS or manjaro. As for Desktop Environment in terms of fimilar UX/UI, KDE is your best choice but it will require heavy customization but in the end it would be worth it. If you prefer something aesthetically pleasing out of the box, then go for Deepin (but last time I checked it was little buggy in other OSes).
Also, I would recommend PopOS over Ubuntu.
Ubuntu recommended
I came across KDE neon recently. Love it so much, it even replaced most win Workstations of mine
