For anyone interested, here's the homepage of Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/

It is based on Ubuntu and uses the Cinnamon desktop by default, however personally i also rather enjoy the XFCE spin, for example: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4103

To that end, i also enjoy smaller distributions like Xubuntu, which are just customized Ubuntu, should someone not necessarily want to use Mint in particular: https://xubuntu.org/

Of course, the purists out there could also enjoy Debian because it relies more on free software instead of having proprietary drivers, but outside of the server space your experience might vary: https://www.debian.org/

Also, the Windows tool in question is O&O ShutUp10: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

However, it's unfortunate to have to run it after the occasional update, because Windows is kind enough to enable its spyware functionality automatically sometimes. /s

i think if you are going to go with debian for the desktop, you may as well go with mx linux
