This is the conventional wisdom, but there are some new distros that shake things up imo. For people who are migrating from Windows to Linux Desktop, I'd recommend the following:
* Low maintenance + most familiar to Windows Users => Linux Mint
* You want the ability to install or customize whatever you want => Arch Linux
Maybe there's a middle ground between the low maintenance distros and Arch Linux, but for me I'd rather go all in on low maintenance or all in on customizability.
* Low maintenance + most familiar to Windows Users => Linux Mint
* Low maintenance + don't want custom packages => Aurora (or any immutable distro)
* Low maintenance + gaming => Bazzite
* You want the ability to install or customize whatever you want => Arch Linux
