Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.
I leave the decision up to you.
Edit:
The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.
Debian Bookworm – yes, it’s boring – but that also means no surprises or gotchas – it just keeps truckin’ along
EDIT: if you ever do feel Arch-curious, start with EndeavourOS instead
Why endeavor? I recently tried arch for the first time and I've had a really great experience. It runs great on my raspberry pi 5, a device not actually supported by it. It actually feels and works a lot better than the two other distros that do officially support it: RPI OS and Ubuntu.
Personally I would say start with Arch and if you like it use endeavorOS. Endeavor is just easy install for arch(and the only one I've tried that actually achieved it well) so if you already know the inner workings it saves a lot of tedious install work and has some nice QOL defaults already set like yay colorized
