Try Ubuntu. I switched to it from Windows. It worked on my laptop with no issues or needing to install (or learn how to install) any extra stuff
I already did all that. I had a Lenovo ThinkPad from 2018-2024 (RIP it died) completely Linux/Ubuntu but I really didn't know how to use it. I just used it like windows. Didn't know how to maximize its linux capabilities.
Try doing an installation of Arch, following the guide and searching how to do things as you go. It teaches a lot of things.
It is amazing how much you can learn when the only way to get OpenOffice working is to troubleshoot outdated C syntax errors in the output generated while compiling with clang. Time solves even the most abstruse problems, whether you planned for it or not.
