New to Linux which OS to use? (lemdro.id)

Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

I want to question life: bohi linux

I thought that would be Arch 😆

I haven't used arch (yet) to form an opinion. I do however run bohi on a laptop. It's been rock solid, but I offten scratch my head when I'm using it and end up questioning my life choices.
