For years, I have been immersed in the Apple ecosystem and have recently decided to shift to PC.

To that end, I have purchased a refurbished Dell Lattitude 7940 laptop and expect delivery today. It is shipping with Windows 11 Pro, but I hoped to use a Linux distro instead.

As a complete normie, are there any distros for beginners that would work with the 7940? If so, are there any limitations or elements that will not work correctly that I need to be aware of?

As with any PC, I presume that one still requires anti-virus software. Are there any brands that work better with Linux than others?

Are there any other issues I need to be aware of as a complete novice?

Many thanks

Jay
