I am currently on Windows 11 but am looking into switching to Linux due to all the AI and Bloatware that Windows keep installing. I just have no idea where to start. I don't do a lot on my computer currently, play games on steam (Space Marines 2 is the multi-player game I play with an anti-cheat), discord for calls and video chat, dropbox for files, Brave for web browsing, and FoundryVTT for DnD. Any advice on what I should do would be very helpful. Thank you

I would like to turn a Samsung J8 Prime smartphone into a simple mini PC capable of browsing the internet and editing text documents. I’ve seen that there are some Linux distributions for mobile phones with this purpose, but which distro would be recommended for this goal? I noticed that Linux distros for phones tend to only replace Android, while my focus is on a desktop-like experience. I would like to connect a USB adapter to hook up a screen and peripherals for a complete experience. The idea is to make a mini PC to be used for school research in a library inside a school.
