If you want a windows like environment I would recommend Linux mint with cinnamon. The key is to remember that you can’t run windows programs without using steam, Lutris, wine or bottles. Windows programs rely on the registry and .exe files.

Or if you don’t want to run mint, you can run just about any distro with cinnamon or if you like tweaking your environment you can use KDE and stiill have a windows like environment.

Pop!_os is another popular one being referred to new windows migrants.

Looks like Cinnamon is the way to go, thanks. I'll give it a spin tomorrow, thanks for your help
