We are fairly new to Linux. We are looking for Suitable Linux based Operating System (distribution) for python, Maxima (computer algebra system), c programming and jupyter notebook. We want to install these on 30 computer systems. Which Linux based Operating System would be useful? Is there any distribution which comes pre-installed with one or more of these? We will prefer to have some good GUI as users are not acquainted with Linux but familiar with Windows operating system. Ours is educational institute. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Just about Linux distributions (other than the ones whose entire purpose is minimalism) typically come with Python (amongst other things) pre-installed. Your question is one of those where if you ask ten people, you're likely to get fifteen answers because the answer is primarily based in personal preference or opinion. Any mainstream Linux distribution is quite likely to meet your needs.
gcc
orclang
. Python is usually installed on all Linux distros (unless you want to install a specific version that is not installed). About Maxima and Jupyter Notebook you should check what are the commands used for installing.
