It's an Operating System.
You don't just uninstall it.... you remove it and install some other in its place, like Windows.... so, you'd need a windows disc or usb stick to reinstall windows and remove any other OS.

That question is the source of much internet enmity.
From what I've seen, Ubuntu is more noob friendly.
Fedora has a major upgrade every 6 months, given that it's a development version for the retail RedHat linux. I use Fedora at work, because it's the one that's used by mos other systems around me.
But, when I search for something linux related, most results I get are for Ubuntu.
If you do go down that path, remember that the linux distro is not defined by the "desktop environment" you get presented with (that's the look and feel of the windows and menus).
Both Ubuntu and Fedora will try to push Gnome on you. I'm using KDE because it looks a bit more like what I'm used to, from windows.
There are tons of different desktop environments for linux, some are built for specific distros and have been ported to other distros, like Cinnamon.
The thing about linux is that it has a bunch of configurable stuff... and, if you have the time, you can try different things to see which suits you best
