Linux... I'd start with Ubuntu (supported more) and with experience move to Debian, the distro Ubuntu is based on. Debian is the most stable experience. You can match packages from less stable, fresher sources (testing repository, flatpak). Good to try an install on a virtual machine, like free virtualbox. I personally gravitate toward command line tools because they don't change their interface. It's setting things up how I like only once. Same reason to separate "/" and "/home" file systems.
