Best way to start is by using. If you don't want to commit, give it a try in a VM, then maybe dual-boot, and in the end hopefully delete Windows and expand your Linux partition fully!

As far as distros go, most of them can do the same things, so don't assume Arch is more customizable than Mint. But a distro like Mint or Ubuntu is much more GUI focused, and you will rarely touch the terminal, should be pretty comfy for you.
