Have you looked at Zorin OS? It's built in a way for windows users to easily migrate. It is setup for WINE and STEAM. I have used Linux on and off since the 90s but as my main OS for 15 years. I only use Windows for my DAW now.

Years ago i had linux , ubuntu.....then buyed new pc with win 10 and had only it. Zorin OS look nice , i might first get second ssd drive so would not have to partion the current drive , i would like to have both windows and linux . thanks for the tip , it`s also good to have back up system , like if windows would totally crash ,i could boot to linux .

I’ll check it out when I buy my next gaming pc and turn this one into Linux box.
I’m out of the loop… didn’t know they were going to start charging.
you can go make a win 11 install usb drive right now for free. Then you don’t have to worry.
Really liked zoren… elementary os was my goto as a Mac guy and windows 11 feels like elementary os, that’s why I liked it until update ruined my system… I know correlation is not causation but my Bluetooth was working fine until that update. Now I’ll have to get an add-on card or do without.
I use puppy for formating hard drives sometimes. I also liked solace. Mint was ok but just didn’t resonate with me. Liked running it on usb to fix windows. Ubuntu I just didn’t like. I know some of these are Ubuntu based but still… pop os just was broken and wouldn’t work. Tried manjaro and didn’t like it. Arch was too much to learn.
if I had to do one today I would do elementary. It seemed most stable with least hassle on the pcs I was using.
all my info is years old though… 2018 or so I spent a year daily driving Linux for web, email, paperwork etc… all music is on my Mac and gaming is windows. I tried steam gaming on Linux and it was just too much work and to much missing. So I’m years out of the Linux loop…
I had completely forgotten that could also instal win 11 using USB drive , i think i try that ....i need buy the USB drive first thought .
I am not totally sure , but i assume microsoft will only give win 11 upgrade free for limited time , and then start charge .
