I think the standard recommendation for people coming from windows is to try Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu based, but the interface is more windows like, which helps easy the transition. The transition is also easied if you've been using open source alternatives on windows or the linux for windows subsystem. Anything to keep the amount you have to learn at once relatively low.
I wish you the best on linux, but if you find the interface differences are too much for you and decide to go back to windows, try these other things to make switching to linux later easier. As fanatical as the linux community is, there's no shame in needing a longer more gradual transition.
