  • You should choose a distro where you don’t have to do a lot by yourself, since you are new. Another Point is software availability. Since it seems you want to use some specific software, check if its available as a flatpak (in which case the distro doesn’t matter as long as the distro supports flatpak), or if it is directly available in the packages of the distro.

    For concrete recommendations: as lembot_0004 said, debian and ubuntu are good general purpose starting points, but since ubunti updates some stuff a bit faste than debian and has a 3rd party driver installer, you might want to choose it if you have the need for it (for example if the current debian version does not support your graphics card yet).

    I personally use linux mint, which looks more like windows on the desktop than debian or ubuntu.

    Other people here have also recommended fedora, so if you want, you can check it out too.
