Pop!_OS

I agree, it's great!

image with baked in nvidia drivers which work out of the box without too much fuss
if you encounter problems, you can refer to the system76 website or use a solution provided by the community, since it's based on Ubuntu
installation with full disk encryption enabled by default
right now it uses a slightly customized version of GNOME as DE (with "normal"/traditional windows and optionally a tiling wm), but system76 is working on a Rust-based DE, named Cosmic DE

I’ve been using Pop for about 2 years. I have yet to run into an issue that I couldn’t fix. It’s the first distro that made ditching windows easy.

I feel the same coming from Mac. Things seem to just work. I'm not a Linux wiz so minimal headaches while learning to tinker make it perfect for me.
