I'll add my 2 cents to the stream of Arch and Ubuntu derivatives recommendations : I personally prefer rolling releases, I use Fedora at work and Manjaro at home. The freshnest is a must for me, and I actually find debugging my system to be somewhat enjoyable from time to time ( don't judge me I know you secretly live it too ).
But for total, non tech-savvy beginners, coming from Windows or Mac, I think the most important features are stability and familiarity. In this case, the DE matters a lot, which is why I would recommend Windowsfx, Elementary OS or anything with deepin on top.
