Are you willing to switch to linux or maybe give it a shot? Well I was too and to between all these hustle of distros and desktop environments I di...

Aren't they all Debian based? I used to recommend Ubuntu but not anymore β they break packaging of Python stuff all the time. Now I only advocate for Fedora.
These are Debian-based, indeed, but it so happens that these are the distros most friendly to new users.
While Fedora is a good distro(for example), I would not recommend it to new users... Their videos will not play βfor some reasonβ and their Nvidia graphics driver does not work βfor some reasonβ - that user will not want to touch Linux ever again, because of that experience. Not everybody is technical.
It's not like fedora can't play videos, I'm using fedora workstation from fedora 29 as a daily driver on my laptop, I've never ran into any problem related to media playback whether it's a video or audio file.
Well, it looks like they do so at a cost of making other users' experience bad. For example: gist.github.com/tiran/2dec9e03c6f9....
Besides, the reason Nvidia drivers don't work is usually Nvidia.
Explained better than I could, thankyou
I'm a Fedora user and as awesome as it is I wouldn't recommend it for new users. Not sure how many new users use Python but I'd bet that the pluses of using these distros far outweigh the negatives - like python problems.
Bonus one Manjaro is Arch based;)
Yes they are but these destros maintain their own repositories and uses ubuntu's repositories negligibly.
You may include in the list the Garuda Linux. Based on Arch Linux it is stable, btrfs file system, eye candy out of the box for newbies. Lxqt is not resource hungry, all drivers included, snapshot presence. Moreover, made in India.
The choices are good, but they are all Ubuntu-based. I would at least include Fedora - it's made by Red Hat, stable, pretty popular, and targetting programmers. However, they have a bit stricter policies on open source software, so you have to install and enable more proprietary codecs, like mp4, by yourself. Despite this little caveat, I still recommend it for devs, and even for everyday home use.
For diversity's sake I'd also throw Solus in there - an independent distro with a focus on personal computing. Most things should work out of the box and it should be pretty easy to use, without the need for much configuration.
I included the distros I used and tbh community support for ubuntu based distros are much better than most other distros. And for a new user that community can be a selling point. Thanks for the opinion though, I'll keep soulus in mind next time I write something similar.
I'm working on Fedora, but with newbie I think Debian-based + GNOME desktop enviroment is friendly.
IMO, there should've been Manjaro.
I mentioned manjaro in the bonus section because I've personally never used it.
IMO, Deepin OS have best UI, very smooth and friendly for new linux user.

I'd also recommend Manjaro to beginners, it's based on Arch and is very user friendly.
Hey. I recommend Linux Mint!

Manjaro is another great distro for noobs. Arch Linux in my opinion is much better than Debian/Ubuntu based distros because of the community support.
thanks for the suggestions

Pop os should be at the top. It is simply a better ubuntu. Something easy and not based on debian and should have been on the list is Manjaro linux.
These distros are in no given order. I mentioned manjaro linux in bonus section because personally I never used it ever.
Heard pclinux is good for beginners. Great online community for support as well apparently.
I've only dabbled with it using the boot iso setup on a virtual box. Must say, was impressed.
KaOS is really nice distro
