Ubuntu has come a long way in terms of usability in the last few years. I use it more than windows 7 even cause of the stability and wide range of games that now work by default / with wine. Ubuntu is a good starting point to learn linux, and how to use the terminal to do basic stuff.
I absolutely recommend Ubuntu. After you get that down its much easier to take on the task of installing a more niche linux OS.
If youre into games try Lutris as well. Makes it cake to install windows only games like GTA5 and Witcher 3.
Some games you still need windows (like skyrim if you want to mod, which is pretty much the whole appeal of playing it).
