How to Choose a Distro? I'm a Migrating Windows User to Linux

Hi all, I'm positive you all get this all the time - but, I believe that my case might be very specific; please, I need help on deciding on a distro to migrate to as an avid Windows user who doesn't have (but, is learning) much experience with Linux.

Here's my specific case:

  1. I've been testing ZorinOS to see if it would be worthwhile for me to migrate completely from Windows 11 to Linux (whatever distro is recommended) on my internal 256 GB SSD; I'm currently running Windows 11 as normal on my SSD under Secure Boot while I run ZorinOS on my 1 TB USB flashdrive (a SSD as well) as well under Secure Boot (enabled).
  2. I plan on possibly migrating fully - not running 2 OSes on my internal SSD - but, running only a preferred Linux distro.
  3. Originally, I had thought that ZorinOS would be the best option - as they supposedly have created the distro specifically for Windows users; I'm open to other suggestions, however.
  4. I currently use Windows 11 for work mainly - as I work in marketing, client success management, and client consulting; my apps I use - which I'll need to somehow get working on Linux (except for Microsoft 365 Personal since SoftMaker NX is a viable alternative) - are:
    • Microsoft 365 Personal ( which I'll most likely replace with SoftMaker NX - https://www.softmaker.com/en/ )
    • Microsoft Teams (desktop client),
    • Microsoft Outlook (desktop client; for 2 email accounts - personal & business),
    • WeCom,
    • WeChat,
    • DingTalk,
    • Slack,
    • WhatsApp,
    • Zoom,
    • Skype,
    • Arc for Windows (from The Browser Company),
    • BitWarden,
    • PCloud,
    • Microsoft OneDrive,
    • Integration of Windows & Android for notification access & usage of specific apps, and
    • Galaxy Buds app (for the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro wireless headphones).
  5. I'm not only looking for the best integration (and means of integration) of the apps I normally use for work - however, I am also looking for the best ease of use, best support for my HP Spectre x360 (early 2019 version)'s hardware, best security, and best customization options (without getting too technical). I prefer the KDE (kde-full) desktop environment - however, I am open to others as well.
  6. I prefer distros that resemble Windows - but, I am open to others as well.
  7. In terms of apps, the apps I ABSOLUTELY need are:
    • SoftMaker NX - https://www.softmaker.com/en/ (since Microsoft 365 Personal most likely can't be integrated),
    • Microsoft Teams (desktop client),
    • Microsoft Outlook (desktop client) or a viable alternative to handle 2 email accounts - personal & business - and to allow for the adding of email signatures with images embedded,
    • WeCom,
    • WeChat,
    • DingTalk,
    • Slack,
    • WhatsApp,
    • Zoom,
    • Skype,
    • BitWarden,
    • PCloud,
    • Microsoft OneDrive, and
    • Integration of Windows & Android for notification access & usage of specific apps.
  8. I am willing to add additional repositories, change desktop environments, install VMs, and/or install Android emulators if needed - as long as it improves my workflow.

Considering the above, then: what would be the best distro to consider - and, how would I get what I need installed and smoothly-running?

Thank you very much, everyone.
