... I also need to point out that the other suggestions here eg Fedora and Zorin co are also valid choices in my opinion.

You should revel in the fact that you now have choice and not a single option. That does mean you will have to pick one.

All of the options you have been presented with will work fine - there is literally no wrong answer here!

All of them are very well documented and you will not get a "SFC /SCANNOW" type answer if you have a problem.
