I want to move away from windows because they are literally pushing ads into a paid operating system lol. So can yall recommend a beginner friendly distro?

By beginner friendly I just mean stable and less likely to break from me messing with the terminal.

Plain Debian. Minimal installation size, huge app repository, can find tutorials for almost anything everywhere. Any OS you can fudge up from the terminal. I suggest making a second rig, one where the stuff on it isn’t very important, and just learn without worrying about erasing your /home directory. Short of that, install on a second hard drive and dual boot that way. I would not install on the same drive as your windows install.
