I second Debian as an intro. Ubuntu is a little newer and it has a huge userbase, but your customization options are limited by their desktop environment (which is a tweaked version of Gnome, iirc). You'll get more of a typical Linux experience from Debian. Most of the Ubuntu help articles and posts will work for Debian, too.
When you're ready to try something new, explore immutable/atomic distros like Fedora Kinoite, blendOS, and NixOS. Layering and containerization are a different way to secure your system and offer new ways to think about how processes interact with the kernel and OS.
I know you're limited by the UTM right now, but by the time you're ready for that, you may have other ways or hardware to look into it.
