I have tried a bunch of distros...Zorin is the most "everything just works" flavor.

It's good looking, and like most distros it has an app store, but it is the only one I have tried where every different kind of install package can just be double clicked on and it installs. No fuss. It's perfect for the non-tech people who don't want to buy a new computer to get Windows 11.

(Bazzite still has it beat for windows games though.)

Linux Mint but it looks good

Haven't looked at it in ages, but last I knew the whole philosophy was to be as Windows-like as possible to make it easy for people to switch. I never went for it because they charge for more complete versions.

Clean, easy distro to directly displace Windows. There next step is releasing Grid, which they claim will be a way for company admins to manage company wide deployments, configuration and updates.

It uses GNOME but they customized the backend so it doesn't look or act much like GNOME
