Pop!_OS https://pop.system76.com/ I've run Linux on servers for more than 20 years but continued to use Windows for my desktop PCs barbecue none of the Linux desktop environments were enough of an improvement over Windows to justify switching... until I tried Pop!_OS early this year. I booted it on a lark but within a week I'd made it my OS of choice and I have not looked back. The only common gotchas that I'm aware of are if you have a VR rig because they only have Windows drivers, or if you play multiplayer games because of the anti-cheat software running on the servers. There are other programs that will only run on Windows but they are all relatively uncommon/highly specific so unless you are a special case chances are you'll never run into them. I have several laptops and a tablet all running a variety of Linux distros but I only use them when I travel or work remotely and only have limited requirements for them so I don't care as much about the DE. I have the ability to dual-boot to windows on my main PC in case I need to for legacy reasons but since switching to Pop I've only done it a couple times. There are lots of tutorials for Pop on-line as well help via forums, so you'll never be hung out to dry. Download the ISO and boot it from a memory stick, I'm willing to bet you will be very pleasantly surprised. If you have an further questions about Pop don't hesitate to ask.
