Pop!_OS

A developer-focused minimalist Linux distro from System 76

I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps.

Manjaro

Manjaro Linux is a linux distribution which is based on arch linux. It uses the PACMAN package manager.

Manjaro, for all the bad things people say about it, is fine (the same can't be said of their management, but as far as end-user goes, they're fine). They have implemented btrfs auto-snapshot, which creates an economic snapshot of your main system every time you install/uninstall/update something, making things less risky -- the only other Arch-based distro that uses it that I know of is Garuda Linux, which has a ton of interesting stuff, but might be a bit too busy for new users. The main advantage of Arch-based distro is IMHO the AUR (along with chaotic-aur which prebuilds the packages), which makes finding and installing software easy.
