I’ve finished most of Microsoft’s latest changes. The Anniversary patch is affecting my setup negatively, and it seems things will only get worse. A solid Linux option would be a great starting point.

GNU/Linux Mint Cinnamon is available, but you might find Windows 7 documentation more helpful. Check the recommended channel for additional support.

The anniversary update was great, a lot of awesome additions that should have come to windows years ago. If you had any issues it's probably because you didn't clean install windows 10.

Ubuntu Desktop makes a good beginning, similar to Linux Mint. Remember, there are many Windows versions beyond just Windows 10, and I favor Windows 8.1 personally.

Have you tried any distributions before? Choose Ubuntu for a great start!

Seems the main problem with Windows is that I can't turn off Cortana, and it uses up a lot of RAM.

Do you enjoy playing games? If so, getting those window-based titles running on Linux will quickly introduce you to the system. There are two primary graphical environments for Linux—KDE and GNOME. I personally favor KDE, opting for a more straightforward design. GNOME feels a bit more contemporary, though I admit it’s a bit newer. I don’t like the current look of Ubuntu, so I usually choose Kubuntu instead. Still: my go-to easy-Linux setup is Mint (KDE) paired with Kubuntu, which comes in as a strong alternative. Both are Debian-based and offer extensive community support. Most tutorials work well across both platforms.
