Of what? Linux? I dunno. Try Ubuntu I suppose. Some purists (who are mostly annoying if we're all honest) shit on it for including non-FOSS packages (or something along those lines- honestly don't even keep up with the current en vogue complaints). But it works well for end users and is similar (feeling) in operation to Windows.

Manjaro is another option that includes a bunch of "angers the purists, but works regardless" things. I don't even know why people hate manjaro tbh. Something vague about not using standard arch packages.

I use debian because it's light, but this is also inconvenient if like you said specific drivers are a concern. Last time I played with Manjaro, it had a ton of built-in Windows drivers support. You could play most games on it as well. It was all pretty smooth from my memory. Although it's not gonna be perfect unless you're using drivers or programs written explicitly for Linux. Now days this seems to he more common to see though. I can't remember the last thing I just straight up absolutely couldn't make work in Linux.
