3rd, but I recommend getting the kde variety (used to be called kubuntu). This will give you the most windows like experience. Regular Ubuntu ships with gnome and has a different feel to it.
I’ve been on slackware almost exclusively for 2 decades-ish. I’m team kde. I always liked it, but I had shitty hardware from like 2010 - 2020, so I was on xfce because it’s a lot lighter. But I always had kde installed so I could use some of their native apps.

I love KDE, but Kubuntu is a buggy mess, at least it was a year ago when I last tried it.
Honestly, the best implementation I’ve seen is Manjaro’s, with Nobara close behind.
