Years ago, I read that KDE was initially designed to be user-friendly for people who are used to Windows.

These days, I tend to like Cinnamon (which I think is also supposed to be familiar for people who are used to Windows), and I also think Xfce is pretty good too.  There are editions of Linux Mint (my current favorite Linux distro) that come with Cinnamon or Xfce.  I've been using Linux Mint on a secondary PC (which I mainly set up to run Plex Media Server) since about 2015 and generally it just works and has been very stable.  I was running my BBS in a Windows VM on that until a copule years ago, when I moved my BBS to run in the Linux Mint host OS.
