I'm new to Linux and have tried out Linux Mint but found it a bit limited for something that's supposed to be similar to Windows. I'm searching for a distribution that's easy to set up, has a Windows-like look, and supports the drivers for my Asus ROG GL551JW laptop since I want to play most of my Steam games. I've had some audio issues with Linux Mint, but I might have set it up incorrectly. Is there a distro that meets these requirements?

You should definitely check out Zorin OS (Core). It fits your description pretty well—user-friendly and visually similar to Windows.
I'd recommend not limiting yourself to only "Windows-like" environments. There's a lot to explore in Linux once you get used to it. Many Steam games run well on almost any distro, and ProtonDB shows that over 20,000 games are playable, so you'll have plenty of options!
That's a good point! I had some weird audio issues with Mint, though. I plan to experiment with different distros in a virtual machine soon, but I want to move away from Windows for now.
Thanks for the suggestion! I really appreciate the quick response.
