Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

I personally recommend Linux Mint. It feels just close enough to Windows to be fairly comfortable to use. Customizing the task bar on Cinnamon still feels weirdly awkward and confusing though.

I don't use it, but I recommend it to every newcomer and I've had great feedback that it's easy to get started with. There's a lot of help available online, and almost anything Debian or Ubuntu-related should apply, most of the time.

Once you get a feel for Linux Mint, you can decide where to go from there. But the most important part is to get a usable system first, and Mint makes that really easy, without some of the drawbacks of Ubuntu.

I recommend the Debian edition, but honestly, any of their spins are fine, pick one that looks cool and have at it.
