Microsoft's small but noteworthy change to the Windows 10 Start menu has its ups and downs.

Yeah, I really should switch to Mint or something
Mint with Cinnamon is great if you like the start menu style of Windows 7/10. Generally speaking Linux distros are mostly the same under the hood.
I'm attempting to normalize calling it CinnaMint. I get a few up votes Everytime I mention it, but I haven't seen anyone else use it yet.
It does sound pretty marketable. Hope it gains traction.
now im thirsty for some good tea
mint or something with kde.
I switched to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma with Wayland turned on) and it's absolutely wonderful.
I strongly recommend EndeavourOS. You'll have more flexibility to experiment with different setups and greater access to software.
There are a ton of options. Plenty of people (me included) wouldn't recommend Mint, but some will. Everyone has their preferences and tolerance for certain things. The most important step is to just switch. You can always move distros.
Personally, for a new user, I'd say Fedora with KDE is a good choice. I use the gaming version of Garuda, which just comes with some extra stuff for gaming you'll probably need anyway, which you can do manually or just grab this. Regardless, KDE is probably what you want coming from Windows. It behaves similarly to Windows, but is very customizable. Other DEs have other benefits though, so there will always be other recommendations.
I’m curious why you wouldn’t recommend mint. Is it due to some kind of problem, or is it just a personal taste thing?
I use mint daily so if there are potential issues I just want to know!
Yeah, I just don't like it. I don't feel strongly, just not what I'd recommend.
Fair enough. Thanks!
Fortunately with Linux, choice is the name of the game!
