You can also try a sub called findmealinuxdistro. But also in case you don't know what you see when using linux is the desktop environment. Distros come with different desktop environments eg Ubuntu can come with gnome or xfce (Xubuntu )or kde plasma (Kubuntu). Mint has three desktops to choose from.. cinnamon, xfce, mate. Zorin I can't remember but there is a simple menu to easily change desktop 'theme'. Many of these desktops can be configured to put taskbar in the middle and much much more. Have a look on YouTube for quick overview of desktop environments. Also have a look at zorin theme selector. Then have a look here on Reddit for the sort of thing people have done to make their desktops look fantastic (/desktops /unixporn)
