any form of Debian

For those who come from Windows I'd recommend #Cinnamon

#LMDE Linux Mint Debian Edition is worth to have a look at, too

I used tens of distros with different desktops and even just window managers for over a decade. I only stopped using Linux a couple of years ago and came back to using Windows. My main reason was, sometimes you just want things to work. Main problem I had was with MS Office compatibility. I could run earlier versions of Office in Wine or GNOME Box. But they weren't as good. I could run the web version, but it's pretty basic, too. Any suggestions?
