What Linux distros would you suggest for the users looking to migrate from Windows? It's best if you could suggest something similar UI/UX-wise.

Try Linuxfx, UI is same as Windows 10

Looks great 😉
haven't used it myself.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
I would recommend Linux Mint or Ubuntu :)
Linux Mint was my initial thought too 😉
Love Mint!
I used to play with a new different distro every month,
but now I just want my computer to just work, so that I can get down to work.
Two considerations you might want to investigate:
You should consider these questions, based on what you liked about Windows 10 and what not. Then you could add these preferences, so suggestions will be closer to meet your expectations.
I use Ubuntu with XFCE as the desktop environment. UI is similar to windows-xp, but I chose it for being lightweight and stable.
I would recommend Ubuntu with default GNOME 3.
Forget about Windows looks. Focus more on out of the box experience and community support.
(Actually, if possible, I would recommend macOS. I haven't tried Hackintosh to recommend it.)
I believe that Linux Mint or Ubuntu are quite user friendly!
I usually read a lot that Mint is a good option. Maybe another good one could be Manjaro (great UI) or Deepin (also focused on provide a lot of convenience features for end users).
I use Pop-OS and i have added Arch Menu and Dash to Panel Extensions. It will look almost similar to the Windows experience. That is what i would recommend.
Q4OS. They really try to be close to windows in terms of UI. It also provides a few utilities that make life a bit easier. Based on debian stable, so it should be pretty stable (I've only tried for a few weeks). Also, they have an installer that works inside windows, so you can install the OS in the same partition as windows (here is youtube video of that).
PopOs ftw
Kubuntu
I started using Windows back in 1993 with Win 3.1 and have used every Windows OS except (win98 and winME). I even had a laptop with Vista. However, after all those years of using Windows I finally switched to Ubuntu (running Gnome 3.x desktop) and have been very happy. There were a few challenges right at the beginning with a video card driver (but mine is NVidia so it worked out fine.
Ubuntu 20.04 (current) is fantastic and you will be amazed and how much better it performs. I am an Android developer and Android Studio runs so much better on Linux than windows. But I'm also a C# developer and I use Visual Studio Code for that and everything else. There is very little you will miss on win10.
Ubuntu is the best for windows users .I have recently switched from windows to Ubuntu , im never going back to windows
Do you want to start using Linux? Then try Ubuntu or Pop-Os. Both are Debian distributions which are documented all over the internet.
Do you want to have a 'Windowsy' feeling? Then try Zorin-Os
Do you want to have a 'MacOsy' feeling? Then try Elementary-Os
Don't feel discouraged about the amount of Linux distributions there are out there. Linux is a pretty customizable OS and you'll find out sooner or later what do you like and what not.
I'd give Ubuntu a try as my first choice since it's the 'easiest' one
LinuxFx like windows 10
