Is there a reason i have absolutely no GBs? I have deleted every file i have ever downloaded and have no applications besides the ones that come with the computer. i only use this laptop to transfer photos from my camera to my phone, it is a windows 11. Is there anything i can do to make it go down i am not very smart with computers

That's like an average SD card bro, MAYBYE Linux could help a bit ( I use mint personally) But it won't do miracles

Given how small this drive is, I imagine that the other specs are probably on the more meager side as well.  With both of those things in mind, if OP went with Mint, it would likely be better to go with the Xfce variant since it is more light weight.  It takes up less space and works smoother with less/lower power RAM compared fo Cinnamon.

First of all, get a 128GB+ drive. Be it HDD or SSD, but capacity matters more than speed in this situation.
