As a complete linux beginner I would suggest something like:
Linux mint XFCE or Linux mint Cinnamon
A Linux distro will allow you to access the files on your windows partition when you boot into the live usb. back up or move your files to an external drive while logged in the live usb before you install the new distro.
download linux mint xfce or linux mint Cinnamon here:
you will see Cinnamon Edition, Xfce Edition, MATE Edition. Xfce, Cinnamon, and MATE are just different desktops.

here is a decent installation guide

I have been a linux user for 20 years
enjoy the freedom of linux
good luck
dont use any ai to do anything. I dont understand why anyone would recommend using ai for a linux beginner!
just enjoy the distro and use your search engine or linux mint forums to get ay support.
- roscas 1y agoMy suggestion is for him to write "I have Manjaro installed, how do i update the system?" but Manjaro also includes an updater. "How I install on Linux Mint the GIMP program for photo editing?" these are examples. Since it is very diferent from Windows where you have to go to a website and download some installer, you do have to learn how to use Linux and ChatGPT or Perplexity will help him. I don't recommend Linux Mint just because it is Ubuntu based and I don't like Ubuntu. I would rather install Debian and put XFCE4 than any Ubuntu derivative.
