I am married to my DE. The distro is like an in-law, and I can chose which ones I interact with based on making my partner happy. If Gnome Wayland gives my hardware a hard time, then I hang out with a Gnome Xorg distro. Thank you Linux for offering that choice.
Any major distro will work, it’s the Desktop Environment that you’ll want to examine. Whether GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc. the DE is what you’ll mostly deal with when computing. Try distrowatch.com for a good overview of various flavors. I, personally, have always started newbies off with PCLOS with KDE, as Tex tends to avoid the bleeding edge in favor of stability.
