There has to be a windows-looking flavor of Linux, right?

I know ElementaryOS looks like Mac.

cinnamon, lxde, kde, and mate are all desktop environments that mimic the basics of windows ui like the taskbar, start menu, and windows with minimize, maximize, and exit buttons at the top. and all can be installed/selected during install on pretty much every popular distro. there's prolly some others i've forgotten but those are all solid choices.

edit: whoops had mint listed but that's not a de that's a distro
