I would throw bazzite in as an option, especially for a new user.
Bazzite has a good out of the box experience, is meant for gaming, and it uses an immutable distro.
In my opinion the only reason people don’t like immutable distros is bad habits that are hard to break, or wanting highly custom system configurations, both do not apply to a new user. If you never go into the terminal there’s no difference, and if you do a system like brew works pretty well.
For just gaming and desktop use (with KDE), it’s a good low maintenance system.

Sounds very very good. I’ll definitely give it some priority. Thank you!

The first thing I did when I finally swapped was to fiddle with it until it felt like what I was used to with Windows. Of course, that’s also the same thing I do in a Windows PC: Make it feel like an older less shit version of Windows.
