mogul,

I started on Linux with some old distros that aren’t around anymore but went to Ubuntu eventually and then played with different distros after that. There is a lot of opinions on how things should be in the Linux world and that’s what makes choice so awesome.

I say start with Ubuntu because there is TONS of documentation and help on forums, users are generally super helpful unlike some other distros and it’s a solid STARTING point. Honestly you’ll end up distro hoping like we all are guilty of so you won’t stay on one for a long time.

Mint is another solid choice as is pop_OS!

Debian is great as a base but I found it lacking in bells and whistles early into my Linux days. Stay away from the Chinese distros, they’ll make you sad (not because they’re Chinese made but the lack of work being put into them).

Have fun trying every flavor out and enjoy breaking your system from time to time and eventually try Arch or even Gentoo lol
