What Linux Distro Should I Try?

Hey everyone! My 8-year-old is super into computers and has made the switch to Linux. He's encouraging me to try it out too, but I'm a bit clueless as a casual computer user who's only used Mac and Windows before. I'd love to get suggestions on a Linux distribution that would be beginner-friendly. On top of that, my kid has specifically told me to avoid Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian, but I have no idea why. If anyone can help me out with some friendly advice on what to try, it would really mean a lot! Thanks a bunch!
