First you cut the tree down, then you cut it up.

Whatever’s important to you.
There’s no meaning, no purpose.
… That you don’t provide yourself, and it could be anything.
I thought this was a request for Stack Overflow proof.
Then figured that was 'proof from pasting random crap from SO".
Then figured it’s the same thing.
Any distro will be suitable, create yourself as the first user when installing (which will probably be added to the wheel/sudoers group or whatever) then create a new ‘standard’ user.
Most distribution defaults should be adequate.
For added safety, choose one that is immutable like, for example, Fedora atomic.
The nouveau drivers are just barely enough to have a desktop, anything actually needing a GPU will perform very poorly (in my anecdotal experience with 4K). Or, to put it another way, choosing an NVIDIA card is choosing their proprietary drivers.
So you’re left with AMD (and Intel). The open amdgpu driver is pretty good and is suitable for gaming. Which I do.
I have no experience with Intel, but I believe their open drivers are pretty good.
So I recommend AMD.
They’re the same picture meme.
Well, hardly ever.
Supermarkets exploit that behaviour by displaying per-person limits on merchandise. E.g. “limit 5 per person”.
It works.
Potentiallyfaster installation
Particularly when you’re flashing the ISO you downloaded from MS to USB and it doesn’t work unless you use MS’s magic tool. Thus dropping you into the bootstrap paradox.
Especially because it gets partway through the install before failing to load NVMe drivers complaining there is no installation media to load them from.
It turns out it’s faster to install Ubuntu and download one of MS’s windows VM’s and use that to download and flash a USB than actually install Windows 11.
Mainly the blood though.
