Before we can honestly answer this, what do you use your PC for (which programs do you use)?

Seriously needed to be able to give you a good answer.
Mainly web browsing, social media, watching vids etc... I use Brave browser now and don't use apps, word processors, spreadsheets. Mainly just use the pc for online stuff.
Not a gamer, no intensive graphics or demanding applications.
Then you should find Linux straight forward.
The are different versions with different names. I have Linux Mint on one of my PCs. Super easy to use and setup and everything that you listed will work with a fresh install, including damm near every type of video file (whereas Windows wants you to buy codecs to play different file types).
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Or Google's ChromeOS Flex. Totally avoid supporting evil Microsoft. /s
Then what said
And when you test the live USB, check the wifi connection for a couple of minutes (browse the web) make sure it's stable and working, no driver problem, same deal with sound, make sure it works properly
And then you should be good, linux mint is the better ubuntu essentially
Yeah the sound can be weird on some systems.
On this one (Mint), the sound just stops working, so I have to do a "$pulseaudio -k" every so often to get the sound back.
Ubuntu or rocky Linux would get my votes based upon your usage and available online support forums.
I have a Mint dual boot, it's good for all that stuff. I just find it a bit dumbed down even compared to windows (10 pro).
