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'm in the exact same boat as you.

After ten hours of research you will have learned that Linux Mint with Cinnamon is the one you're looking for, for an intro. Widely used, familiar, stable.

Feel free to read a bunch to confirm.

Seconded. Linux Mint is really comfy and intuitive coming off of lifetime of Windows

Yep, same experience for me.

It’s a great intro AND a great one to stick with. It is basically Ubuntu, the most popular distro(which is built on Debian), minus the controversial Canonical stuff, plus some additional conveniences and polish.

If I switched from Mint to Arch it wouldn’t really affect how I use my PC unless it broke functionality. 95% of usage is in terminal, Firefox, or vscode. And that includes browser-based M365 work apps.
