For me it's PeppermintOS.
I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven't owned a Windows PC since.
I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house
I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.
They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.
Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.
Search https://repology.org/ for the software you're trying to run.
If it's windows only, search for an alternative on https://alternativeto.net
If there's no alternative, check if it runs in wine https://appdb.winehq.org/
But honestly, I'd stick to the first two. I've been on linux for more than a decade now and do not miss a single application that runs on windows.
