I want to move away from windows because they are literally pushing ads into a paid operating system lol. So can yall recommend a beginner friendly distro?

By beginner friendly I just mean stable and less likely to break from me messing with the terminal.

I agree with @nottheengineer@feddit.de. However, if you want a more basic distro, with less risk to break stuff, Debian could be better, as it also has a UI for apt (synaptic) and many DEs to choose from (Gnome, KDE, XFCE...) but apart from this less polish and custom programs which could break by customization. Note that it has much less recent software as it aims for stability rather than being up to date, which could be an advantage if you want to tinker a lot.
