The distribution that kept my attention was Zorin OS, even when you paid for it. I found myself frustrated by the way the taskbar and "start button" behaved compared to other distros. Mint is also decent, though not perfect.

I genuinely enjoy Unity as well, even though it seems quite sleek.

Ubuntu is a well-liked option for beginners. For slower systems, Xubuntu or Lubuntu could be better choices. Each has pros and cons—XFCE hasn’t changed much, so Xubuntu might become less popular soon, while Lubuntu isn’t the most appealing. Debian forms the foundation of Ubuntu, though setup can be more complex. Arch offers strong performance, especially with the AUR repository, though it requires more manual effort. Antergos is an Arch variant with a dedicated installer and additional repos, letting you use your preferred desktop or window manager. Linux Mint is another favorite, but I don’t have personal experience to share.
