Switched from windows to Linux about 12 years ago for everyday computing, with a windows gaming partition for about 7. Now completely Linux for 5 years or so.
I've heard good things about Mint. I'm more of a Gnome fan, so I stick with Fedora or Pop!_OS. Currently on Pop and still loving it. If you wanted to try either fedora or pop, I would start with Pop since it has a better out of the box experience, especially if you run an nvidia card.
The only other advice I have for new users, is to prioritize Flatpak for apps over system packages (debs, rpms, etc...)
