The Distrochooser helps you to find the suitable Linux distribution based on your needs!
I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.
There are some similar sites to this one, but since I'm not familiar with them, I won't post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.

I agree with the other comments that it isn’t a great tool for complete beginners. There’s a question that mentions systemd. A newbie won’t know what that means.
When I see people recommending Devuan or non systemd OS i'm like why? The newbie has no idea what the hell is systemd despite maybe that some people hate it for some reason so it must be bad lol
I've used Linux before albeit that was like a decade ago playing with Ubuntu but I had no idea how to answer that question. I don't want an app store and I don't want to install from the command prompt all the time. I just want to download something from the browser click it and it install it 😂 idk why that isn't even an option to pick since I'm pretty sure that's something you can do with Linux.
Either way I'm currently burning a Linux Mint/cinnamon flash drive to live boot and may dual boot it since I have an extra old SSD laying around.
