Highly recommend Linux Mint. It's the most beginner friendly, smooths things over, has a great app store, and will make you feel mostly at home.

I was already looking around. I work in IT, so I am not completely oblivious to using Linux or how it works. I tested a few out a long time ago, and we have a few systems in production at work. I was going to try out Mint, Elementary, Pop, and KDE Neon before deciding. So far I got Mint spun up as a VM and played around a little. KDE Neon just gave me a black screen after it installed, which stinks because it was the one I was leaning towards the most. I haven't gotten to the other 2 yet.
