I also hate, how win10 looks, awful design, actually it's not even a design, just a spit into customer's face, i wonder, how they designed it: "What, if we won't make beautiful functional interface and will make just some lazy mockup, will save a bunch of money, customers are stupid bovini, they will eat everything anyway".
You can try Manjaro distributive, from all distributives i tried, it's closest to Windows, pretty easy to use and if i remember correctly no need to use terminal in 99%, but i had some strange bugs, so i moved on to another distro, but maybe it will work ok for you.
Also very cool distributive is Ubuntu Studio, it comes with pre-installed audio/video/photo apps, Jack, Real-time core ,etc.
Now i use Debian+default interface(GNOME, i guess) from time to time, because it's very simple, fast, small and clean. but i wouldn't recommend it to someone as a first linux try.
I personally planning to stay on Windows 7 as my main OS for awhile, maybe few years, than time will show what to do.
