I also very much suggest Ubuntu Mate.

There is also accessible accocanut which is based on ubuntu 20.jd.  Also if you want a text installer, slint is a very good choice.   also debian is also good.  So, as you can see there are a few good choices avalible.

I would love to be able to move away from Windows and use Linux full time for browsing, email, word processing and spreadsheets. I have a Thinkpad X220 that I can use for Linux. About 15 years ago, I played around with Venux, but that project seems to be dormant now. I have a Pi 3B+ running some ham radio software and I have to SSH into it occasionally and perform some command line stuff. For daily usage, I want a full GUI environment.
