When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)
Edit: Thank you all for your input and suggestions! Linux Mint shall be my next OS! Though, I think I'll give Pop!OS a look-see as well.

Mint cinnamon (Victoria 21.2)
Very beginner friendly and has a big community, most stuff works out of the box, steam is recommended heavily as it has a build in compatibility layer (Proton) if you want to check your favorite games check out at https://protondb.com/
Only notable thing is that MS office isn't working on Linux unless the web app is used (wich isn't a problem unless you are required by work/school to use it)
If you need an office suite, you can use LibreOffice/OnlyOffice as a full MS Office replacement. OnlyOffice is basically identical to MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and LibreOffice replaces the rest. With MS fonts installed, you should have no trouble writing a .wordx document in Times New Roman.
You can definitely do that if you are not explicitly required to use MS office. I had the problem some years ago... Used a vim with win 7 until it broke, then i forced them to lift the rule by GDPR
