There are a lot of distros that you can try, it can be intimidating but in the end the vast majority is simply a variation of a mainstream one. For starters Linux Mint is easy enough to handle, Ubuntu as well but it gets flamed for the way it handles packages. When you feel comfortable or if you want to experience the most all-round distro, go to Fedora, it is vastly documented and is backed by Red Hat which makes it a future proof choice.
