When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux?

Arch Linux, gnome/KDE for desktop. Wiki is extensive, packages and updates are cutting edge .

There is endeavour os (arch based) which I hear is good

I don’t think someone new to Linux should go with Arch right off the bat. It isn’t as hard as everyone makes it sound, but it also isn’t as easy or seamless for new Linux users.

No its not. It’s Arch with a fancy installer. You still have to keep up with Arch news and fix package breakages yourself. There’s really no difference between Arch installed via archinstall and EndeavourOS.

It’s pretty polished. I have the sway community edition on my touchscreen thinkpad. Note I say touch screen, as it seems to be the best touch screen experience I could find for that laptop, which I think kinda emphasizes the level of polish.

Yeah no. Don’t suggest advanced distros for beginners.

Endeavour isn’t an advanced distro.
