I recommend Linux Mint (21.2), which a based on Ubuntu (22.04) and Debian. The cinnamon desktop environment it comes with is pretty similar to windows 7, which makes it easier to use. I think 21.2 will remain supported until 2027 as LTS.

Not directly related but RISC-V is also really nice to to program with. I hope it takes off because it has fewer niche instructions that may slow down a system (x86 sucks in that regard).

Yeah gcc and mingw took ages back when I learned cpp a few years ago. This was back in high school when I barely knew what Linux was, so it never occurred to me that I could do that. Eventually gave up on setting it up in VScode and used codeblocks and spent the semester dealing with that GUI.

There’s some themes for cinnamon that make it close enough to windows 10 styling.

Yeah, my friends and I used it a lot for about 6 months before we just stopped because it would start sending notifications at times when we were busy, but I would forget about it after a few minutes since I didn’t care much about using it. Sometimes I was in a lecture hall busy taking notes, other times I wouldn’t even check my phone and miss the notification to post.
