Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

the distro is made in such a way that you can install like you would on windows (double-clicking an EXE installs it through compatibility layers)

This is a terrible idea. Compatibility layers add new bugs that weren't present in the original software plus it's a resource hog. Not to mention that WINE is susceptible to viruses targeting Windows too. Newbies better off using Mint or Pop and sticking to native linux applications when possible.

Most of the MS software they bundle runs natively on linux nowadays.

it seems they’re rebranded from linuxfx to windowsfx to wubuntu to hide previous security issues and shady stuff?
