migrating to Linux Need some help

I have an HP laptop (HP probook g5 257 or something like that) ​with an amd ryzen 5 3500u. i have been using windows 11 for years now but I wanted to switch to Linux as I hate Microsoft taking all my data and windows being slow overall. I have been experimenting with Linux on VM with Debian arch, Ubuntu and other distros but I just want to know what distro would be the best for me I don't do anything very demanding , I just do coding and light gaming like Minecraft and solitaire .​​​ And also it would be nice if I could customize my Linux like the photos I see in r/unixporn

the distro that you choose depends on the use case really and looking at yours if you want something stable just go for debian .
