“As a Linux user…”
Yeah yeah, you’re right. But can you maybe shut up about it for just a minute?

What is a good distro for an absolute noob? Like me.
mint! its popular for beginners, ubuntu based, user friendly, lots of tutorials/troubleshooting help
Watch a few beginner tutorials on YouTube and see which one appeals to you most.
Pop!_os for sure but dont mess up the gui like linustechtips did
Depends a lot on use case, certainly!
Also, do you like a “bottom up” or “top down” approach? Grabbing a raspberry pi and setting up a headless (no monitor) home server is a great bottom up way of getting familiar with things — learn to configure various services and whatnot from the command line. Or, just start with a user-friendly distro with a GUI you like, and gradually work your way up to looking under the hood.
Pop!_OS is the absolute best for beginners. Pick KDE if you want a Windows experience and Gnome if you want a Mac experience.
Nvidia? Pop!_OS probably.
Mint is great but its using the legacy display manager so some people witg multi monitors with different frame rates bla bla had issued with it tho.
