I’ve been using Zorin OS lately. Mostly so I can use tiny, text-based no-frills programs like Wordgrinder.
I play with the Terminal once in a while but consider me a fellow no-nothing when it comes to Linux.
Browser use is fine. Firefox, Brave…

Definitely pick a distribution that has KDE, so we can enjoy the fruits of our own Pointedstick's labor.
I concur.
Here's what he said a few years ago:

At the moment my favorite KDE distro is Fedora KDE, which I use myself, as does my wife and most of my KDE dev colleagues. It's a really good distro IMO.

Is Fedora a good choice for a first-timer though?
I’ve always wanted to try it, but I needed a new machine to prepare the OS for the old machine, and the plan just fell to the backburner since it was so easy to download and try Zorin.
Mint was also easy. In fact, I first heard about it from PointedStick.
