I use Fedora Workstation which has GNOME by default.

Modern GNOME (anything thats GNOME 40 or newer) is quite good, but you 
need to either get used to the GNOME workflow, or depend on extensions 
to make it how you want.

Fedora has perhaps the most vanilla GNOME implementation of them all. 
Most other distros do some kind of customization, whether its theme, or 
something else entirely (ie the Ubuntus and derivatives).

If you want something that is more along the lines of Windows and its 
UI, you probably want to use KDE Plasma instead.
