I’m considering setting up a dual boot between Windows 10 and a Linux distribution. I’ve tried both for about two hours each, but I’m still unsure which one to choose. Since I’m new to Linux, I really appreciate your guidance.

Sure, you can propose an alternative. Antgros, it's built for Arch Linux.

So I haven't used ApricityOS yet but from what I read about it, it is based off of arch, which I personally don't like because of rolling release function, but it doesn't mean it is not for everyone. Having used ElementaryOS Freya for 3 months I can say that I wouldn't recommend it. If you like the look of that you can do what I did and install the Ubuntu version you want and customize it and make it look how you want. Also many people suggest Linux Mint for beginners, I personally tried mint and hated it. I would suggest trying out a few more distros, I went through 5 different ones before I chose Ubuntu, but check out this thread that was made a while back, it should be helpful for someone new to linux

I'm using apricityOS now, and I chose elementary because its appearance is more appealing than mine. Thanks for your advice—it really helped!

For style, Kubuntu and Solus stand out as top choices.

Sure, just to clarify, are you asking for a rephrased version of that statement?
