Honestly the best way to find if a distro will work for you is to just give it a go.
Theres this cool project called ventoy where you can load mutiple isos onto one usb drive to use and install diffrent distributions. Its really neat.https://ventoy.net/en/index.html
Using this, take your top 3 choices or so, load em up and take em for a spin. See what you like best.
Someone already mentioned Pop_OS which is a good option. I really like the look of KDE personally and think its nice and modern looking so a distribution like kubuntu like another comment mentioned is also good. Ubuntu is fairly user friendly having used it myself as a new linux user but i just dont like the look of gnome.
Im planning on using Fedora KDE as my main distro moving forward as it seems stable and up to date for the most part.
All that said, it really is just a matter of personal preference. Try out a bunch of stuff and see what you like. Thats what i did until i landed on fedora.
