Never too late to adopt. Widows XP sp3 was the last Windows OS I've ran, and haven't looked back since. Though I'll admit that I like simple desktop environments like MATE and XFCE to replicate the classic and familiar navigation that I grew used to from Windows NT 3.1, 95, 98, 2000 and XP.
For newcomers you can't really go wrong with something like Pop_OS, Ubuntu or Mint. They seem to have good support and are really new-user friendly communities behind them.

Try MX Linux:

I found it to have slightly more intuitive layout than Linux Mint, which required less searching to find what I needed. For example, I was easily able to figure out how to ditch the gawd-awful Firefox, and replace it with Waterfox...I have yet to successfully do the same in Linux Mint.

Did you skip Win98 or how did that abomination not manage to push you away to Linux?

I was young and was probably running Win98 with the Yahoo! and Ask! toolbars, with a cool Comet Cursor so I could update my Angelfire site while downloading over Napster. Using Yahoo, MSN and ICQ messengers to connect with my friends from school.
But I could play Age Of Empires and Quake, so that's all I really cared about.

I think at the time MSN and ICQ were a thing that existed, Win98 was already obsolete. But I could remember wrong.
As far as I remember, Win98 wasn't even capable of connecting to the Internet out of the box.
