I’m cozy on Cachy these days, but I always recommend the same two distros to new users.

Do you want to play games or are you not very technical? Bazzite.

Are you a Windows or Mac power user? Fedora KDE.

For any other situation, try Bazzite first and switch to Fedora KDE if Bazzite feels too restrictive.

When you start feeling comfortable with those, put Ventoy on a thumb drive and experiment.
