Arch is like making your own cookies, starting from growing the wheat.

Mint and Pop! are like buying Oreos.

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don't play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can "live boot" from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

It's only a general rule. In my experience, Nvidia has kinda been all over the place on how Linux-friendly they are. Do a couple searches on the exact card you have, you might be lucky.

I hope you have fun with finding what works best for you and your hardware!

The configure script is responsible for getting ready to build the software on your specific system. It makes sure all of the dependencies for the rest of the build and install process are available, and finds out whatever it needs to know to use those dependencies.

If you or don't program, or you install programs through a Software Manager or use Flatpacks, this isn't really a part of your life.

Honestly, I don't think I've used terminal in a year.

Yep, once you get your edge-cases sorted (like needing to run SketchUp 2016), Linux is set it and forget it for distros worth using.
