KDE is Windows like and the most polished DE on Linux right now. Unfortunately it's qt based

FarenOS, comes out of the box just like windows 10, 8, 7 and has themes all the way back to like 98, that should be good

Just giving you a heads up but Acer laptop are a bit annoying to deal with if you're trying to install Linux on it. You'll probably get a no bootable device error after starting up for the first time. Here's the fix for it: itsfoss.com
But I think has the most reasonable idea.

Solus is the easiest to use distro and functions better than Ubuntu/Mint
