    Ubuntu or Linux mint are good options. There are other newbie friendly distros out there, but I only tried these 2.

    Yes you can dual-boot. When you start your computer, it will show you a menu where you can choose between Linux or Windows.

      Ubuntu has gotten a reputation for doing intrusive bullshit too, so I wouldn’t recommend that to someone looking to get away from it.

        I’m aware of that. But perfect is enemy of good. A lot of the newbie friendly docs are written for Ubuntu. So I think it’s a good place to start and then go deeper once they are comfortable.

        I started with Ubuntu and distro hopped for a while. Although it’s not my favourite distro, it’s still what I’d recommend for a first timer.
