If you want to dip your toes, go with something easy. Pop_os or Linux Mint are the two most often suggested. Lesser offered but with a Mac OS feel is Elementary.
Haven't heard much about ElementaryOS in awhile. It's still a thing?
It would appear so: https://blog.elementary.io/updates-for-february-2024/
Man they really are trying to wear Apple's turtleneck, aren't they?
Yes, it seems Elementary is focussing a lot on delivering an Apple-esque experience.
Some prefer that. But there's also ones that look more like Windows. Or there are blends. And you can always modify one thing or an other if you feel like you've become more accustomed with your distribution of choice.
Right on down to calling their versions "OS8" and the like. They're not just trying to be familiar to Apple users, they're waiting to see what Apple orders for lunch and then they order the same thing.
Oh wow, I did not know that.
