I want to finally move to linux. But i am unsure whats the best.

I searched for some distros and i came to two distros i could imagine using.

Kubuntu
Fedora Workstation ( or Fedora Silverblue or any other Inmutuable desktop )
Linux Mint ( Thanks @owenfromcanada@lemmy.world )

I am open to any other distro / ui if there is any good for beginner.

I know Fedore is related to Red Hat and many dont like it because it is a Enterprise Linux and paid. But i dont know.

My things i would like to do on Linux would be:

Browse ( Lemmy ;), watch YT a bit )
Code ( and use SFTP and SSH )
Game ( few and simple games, some are on steam )

Thanks and have a great day!

EDIT: I am on Linux Mint now its great! I love the customisation its like the pre enshitification windows 7 where you changed almost everything . I like the multi Workplace function. The only sad thing is that my gpu driver cant use open source drivers. I like that encryption is ready to use. Everything is fast, easy to use. I use steam with proton. Its just great!

I've recently moved to Kubuntu, and I think it's great for a first time distro. It's kinda like the fediverse, you can find whatever suits you after some time. I installed it on a separate SSD M.V2, and that works great for me. I do recommend having it side loaded with windows, so that you can still access it :)
