Arch.
With archinstall, just super easy. For laptops you might have to use iwctl for WiFi connection initially but that's it -
Linux mint with Cinnamon DE if you want it to just work, be stable, not to be annoying and with an intuitive gui.
Fast-nop can confirm -
Difficult question. I've been using OpenSuse Leap for the past two years. I'm really enjoying it.

@Lensflare @netikras Yeah can confirm Mint Cinnamon as user friendly and easy option - basically "Ubuntu done right." Even good for gaming.

Honestly Manjaro is really nice. Arch based and the installation is about as easy as Debians GUI install.
Upside to the Manjaro stable repos is they wait a week to sync with Arch's, so the Arch userbase usually catches the errors and issues before it is thrown towards the Manjaro userbase. Lowers the probability of rebooting to your DE being gone or graphics drivers being broken.
I generally dislike Debian (&Co) because their stable repos are mostly really outdated for packages that aren't popular (e.g. texlive) while Manjaro is arch based and mostly hot(ish) out of the oven.
Also pacman fanboy but that's personal preference.
I feel like moving away from Windows.
Can you suggest me a Linux distro for day to day usage and work ?
