From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I agree with the other comment.
I found KDE Neon and Ubuntu pretty easy to use out of box as well.
PopOS has, maybe, a benefit of Nvidia drivers? But Mint installed them for me during the intro Toot Oriole.
edit: Clarified KDE to add Neon
Not to be pedantic but KDE is a desktop environment not a an OS. Perhaps you were thinking of KDE Neon?
Ah, thank you. It was KDE Neon, sorry!
