Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

I recommend Mint Debian edition. It's pretty easy to get into, without a lot of the nonsense Ubuntu comes with.

I personally use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which has worked pretty well for me for the last 5 years or so. However, it's a really bleeding edge distro and not Debian based, so you may have issues finding help (I'm available if interested).

Look around and find something you like. Anything Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora-based should be pretty safe in the "getting help" department.
