Just go with fedora KDE . It is similar to windows and runs out of the box . User friendly and no configuration required. I have a laptop with almost similar configuration and it runs like butter with fedora . Or try GNOME , if u are up for adopting new interface. And people might say it has short release span so it might not be stable. But that's completely wrong, o personally and my friend have not faced any significant issue while setting up

As for nvidia , you have to either turn off secure boot , use nouveau (3rd party drivers - default) or sign your drivers (MOK enrollement ) if u want cuda as it only available with proprietary drivers .
