I was gonna say the same thing.
For most beginners who just want their PC to work, the obvious choice should be Mint for older hardware, and Universal Blue’s Fedora-based images (Bluefin or Aurora depending on the preferred desktop).
Of course, since OP mentioned NixOS that is an option as well. But it should be the stable version, and it is not beginner friendly like the other two.

I honestly wish someone had said something similar when I made my switch. I love bazzite, and I’ve made it work for myself. But even as a barely tech literate guy, it can still be a struggle, an even just trying to pacman or install something sends me down a rabbit hole of things I dont understand. Anyway, it works, but I wish I had gone with something more stable with far more documentation.
