Stating your experience level and distros that you’re interested in would be helpful, but in lieu of that, here’s my recommendation.

Make a windows restore USB, so you can restore your system if either of these distros don’t seem to work out for you.

First, try Linux Mint. Install it, try to exist in it for a while and see if all of your hardware functions the way it should. Learn some stuff. Mint makes it easy for the most part. Drivers are simple and everything can be done in the GUI.

If Mint has hardware issues, try endeavourOS. It’s a rolling release, running on a fresher version of the kernel, with possibly better support for your hardware. It’s a bit more command line focused. Keep it simple. Update weekly using yay, and see how it goes.

If neither works for you, break out that windows USB and go back to the drawing board, or keep digging. Linux is a less intimidating experience than it used to be, but it still generally requires an active learner who wants to solve problems as they arise and learn more about Linux in the process.
