Any Linux Users Here?

I've been reading and watching a number of videos about how invasive MS Windows 11 is and how they have tried to force copilot on Windows users.

I know Linux has been around for years. I just never have had the desire to learn how to use a different system. But considering the direction Windows has been heading it makes me think about looking into getting a new device with Linux installed on it.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Windows is no longer even an OS. It is just a portal to MS subscription services.

Not just co-pilot.

Links all your files to one drive and if you use more than 2 GBs of storage (so basically everyone) they will try and force you to buy a One Drive subscription.

Want to open a Word or Excel document? Subscribe to Office365.

It also seems to use your data for targeted ads.

As for Linux a good starter distro I recommend to Windows users is Solus Linux.

Looks and behaves alot like Windows 10 with the same sort of UI so less of a learning curve.

It is also a rolling release which just means you install it once and just update forever.

They also have a pretty chill community.

Linux Mint is also a good option for alot of the same reasons.

A nice thing about these distros or flavors of Linux is they have a live environment meaning you can run it off the USB stick, see if you like it without changing anything and then install it.
