You can get most (if not all) of this shit for free.

Either way, Ubuntu is dead to me. I recommend Linux Mint or Zorin OS over Ubuntu in terms of a beginner/normie friendly distro.

From all the things I've seen when people started using Linux via Mint is basically like if Mint was designed to motivate people to go back to Windblows, because they just try way too hard to replicate Windblows.
I'd recommend you start from either Devuan or Artix instead, saw way more success among those people, because both require you to adapt to the Unix way of doing computers, which has a bigger learning curve, but once it clicks you'll never want to go back to proprietary soyware ever again.

@ryo I'm using Mint right now. Previously, I used Xubuntu. I never had any motivation to go beyond that. The fact that modern Windows requires a Microsoft account to set up keeps me away from it in most cases.
