I found Linux Mint Cinnamon edition to be an incredibly easy transition. Just make sure you disable secure boot and use the drive format that the installer recommends.

Oh man, it's delightful. Last October, I woke up and Copilot had installed on my computer. That day, I tried three distros and landed on Mint. Haven't looked back since. It's on all my computers now. Except my XP era Dell Dimension, which is for XP obviously. But yeah, I have almost all of my Windows games running now, except Mechwarrior 3 and Battlezone II. But I guess that's what the old Dimension is for! The hardest thing was WoW for my wife (neither of us play, her friends forced it upon us). Steam games work pretty much out of the box. I think I had to change which version of Proton I use for 7 Days to Die, but that was it.

The Eleganse theme, with a touch of transparency in the terminal is near perfection to my semi-fancy minimalist tastes. The most ricing I've done to it is spending two hours finding the perfect menu icon, but you can do so much more.
