Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

OpenSUSE, Fedora, maybe Ubuntu. I'd avoid immutable style distros like bazzite. They make things easier at the beginning but have other downsides where "normal" solutions need additional steps.
