Linux Mint. You’ll get a thousand other recommendations which you can perhaps explore once you’re more comfortable with Linux but for the easiest most Windows-like experience just get Mint.
You don’t even need to ditch Windows completely, if you’re uncomfortable with that, because you can dual boot meaning when you turn your PC on it asks would you like to open Windows or Linux
If you don’t like it, well, at least you tried. I think you’ll have a great time though exploring free software to do tasks you would have had to pay or subscribe to previously.
Take your time, ask questions on forums if you need to, and most importantly, enjoy it. Enjoy the experience of learning how computers actually work, enjoy personalising your machine to truly be your machine.
I’m mainly trying to work out how to get off windows.

Good luck, and have fun!
Nice. I’ve been there, and changing just a bit at a time has added up to my computing now being in a state I’m much happier with.
