If you need an office suite, you can use LibreOffice/OnlyOffice as a full MS Office replacement. OnlyOffice is basically identical to MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and LibreOffice replaces the rest. With MS fonts installed, you should have no trouble writing a .wordx document in Times New Roman.

If you’re a gamer, I recommend Pop!_OS. Everything works out of the box, plus extra compatibility for Nvidia cards. It took me a second to get used to the UI, but now I can’t go back.
