Not sure if this will be of any help but here are some apps I find quite useful:
Parabolic: video downloader.
Switcheroo: image exporter.
Curtail: image compressor.
Easy Effects: audio equalizer.
Mousai: music identifier.
Apostrophe: markdown editor.
Portmaster: firewall monitor/manager.
There're more over at gnome's circle website (https://circle.gnome.org/) that you might find useful in case none of the above do it for you (even though not loving Easy Effects or Apostrophe is imposibler!). It's a well curated website that helps with the discovery of apps and who knows, maybe that process might entice you to use Linux more and for different purposes (which always helps with the learning curve I reckon).
As an advice when it comes to distros, I'd suggest sticking with the ones which are best maintained so you can enjoy your Linux journey better and have less friction throughout it (some have mentioned Mint, but Ubuntu, or Fedora are also good options).
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes!
