What program will you use?
I have heard that DaVinci resolve is very hard to set up. as for Kdenlive, I have used it few times, and it felt very clunky.
I would go with mint if you have older hardware and bazzite if you have new hardware (especially nvidia graphics card). If you really want windows-like layout check zorin OS.
for actuall advice: I would try a bunch of them and stick with one where video editing works.
On Bazzite (and probably the other ublue distros as well), you can run
ujust install-resolveon the terminal, and that's it, you're good to goAnd it works great when installed that way.
Besides almost everything availiable to try on Windows before the switch, I've seen Nobara writing on their page about their media-focus, mentioning DaVinci Resolve workarounds from out of the box. I've not tried it yet.
