welcome,

1. suggest a beginners level user friendly Linux OS.

Linux mint LMDE https://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php
MX Linux https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linux/files/Final/Xfce/MX-23.2_ahs_x64.iso/download

[MX carries more up to date drivers]

2. provide step by step guide to install the OS.

3. steps to install the latest graphic card Drivers.

you may or may not need one, until you install a distribution, it is difficult to say

4. guidelines for the basic operations such as installing software.

On Linux, it is recommended you install applications [we dont call it software as such] first from the distribution repository as it will have been tested to work, or from an approved safe source, avoid all third party links

5. give me some tips and tricks to get the best user experience.

you will be on a learning curve how steep you make it is up to you, take your time to learn how Linux works and get familiar with the terminal and some basic instructions, "DONT PANIC" if you get into bother there is plenty of help out there.


so choose and install your Linux, sit back ,kick off your shoes, grab a beer, and enjoy the ride

You need the Nvidia driver from rpmfusion.
Enable/Configure rpmfusion: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Install Nvidia drivers: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Current_GeForce.2FQuadro.2FTesla
And this one might be useful for you since you have an integrated(Intel) and dedicated(Nvidia) gpu.

Howto/Optimus - RPM Fusion
