I went with CachyOS cause it was also suggested to me here, has a good development team, and works great with nvidia cards. It’s so fast too. doubles my FPS on most games (went from 40ish FPS in Final Fantasy 14 on Windows to 80+ FPS on CachyOS) and also doubles my battery life of my laptop. Windows 11 had my battery to like maybe an hour but 30min for sure if I was doing anything other than browsing. on linux I’m getting 3 hours out of it regardless of what I’m doing.
If you’re looking to easily transition from windows to get used to linux I’d say anything that uses Plasma or Cinnamon will do you well. an Arch distro with Plasma would work swimmingly.
