I would say the distro you are running, has very little to do with whether it looks like Windows or not.
Your windows manager has a lot more to do with it.
MATE and Cinnamon look something like some versions of Windows. I dare say if I install either one of of these desktops on SuSE, CentOS, Fedora, or Ubuntu, you can't tell which distro I'm running by looking at the desktop.
If you like the Android tablet interface, Gnome3 is probably the way to go.
If you like the Mac interface, I would say deepin or pantheon is the way to go.
For many years I used KDE (now plasma) because it was the default on Solaris.
but I have also used 9wm, blackbox, awesome, bspwm, fluxbox, enlightenment, icewm, lumina, lxde,
musca, openbox, sawfish, sugar, and xfce.
