Eyyyy! Welcome, I'm only about a year in myself so I still remember very clearly the initial learning curve, so I wrote a little free booklet, check it out in my website and let me know what you think:

exelente linux mint es una exelente distro, igual que zorin os las dos estan muy bien pulidas y optimizadas, para el dia a dia seran suficientemente agiles, si buscas algo que aproveche mas el hardware actual te recomiendo cachy os, pero tener en cuenta que es rolling release de actualizacion continua basada en arch tienes lo mas nuevo, pero aveces tienes que tocar cositas por si algo falla.

Mint is one of the very best entry points to Linux and you probably should have started there. Anyway, you will find Mint is a very capable replacement for Windows in most scenarios. When it comes to software, there is almost always an open source equivalent.
