>Is there a good version of Windows 10 or even 11?
No. But the previously-mentioned debloater script could make 10 a little less bad. But you're still in Microsoft territory and they own your computer. Anyway, you are in a sinking ship. If you refuse to learn something else, you are more fucked than you can possibly imagine, so I recommend learning how to swim before the water gets up to your eyeballs, because it's only going to get worse from here. I don't recommend dual-booting, I don't recommend distributions that require learning to be a bit usable.
My recommendation is that you should run Windows 10 in your main computer, with the script, but also have another computer (it can be a cheap used one, doesn't matter) to run some basic Linux distribution, doesn't matter which as long as you can use it (don't fall for any memes too early, and don't worry about things that people complain about, that's for intermediary or advanced users to worry about, not you). Then use that one to learn the basics and to figure things out, and to install programs and figure them out, and find the ones that you like. If you are in a hurry to get things working, that's not gonna work because learning can take time. And you should learn, because frankly, most distributions "for beginners" are designed by retards, and unfortunately the people that aren't retards tend to not care about beginners being able to use their stuff at all. In my case, I took it really exceptionally slowly myself (I started using Linux in 2012 and I think it took until at least 2017 for me to even install things in the terminal, without the GUI), because I knew I wasn't going to switch to Windows 8, as soon as it came out, but I wasn't in a hurry either, especially until 10 came out.
Also, most of the computing experience isn't about the OS, it's about the userspace programs that you use, and figuring out what you want to use, because you have a lot of options for everything. And if by the end of it, something that you need doesn't have an alternative that runs on Linux, you can always have a separate Windows computer just for those cases, and keep your personal files and browsing in the Linux system. it's what I recommend to people that want games, just get a computer to use as a console.
The filesystem isn't much of an issue. If you're struggling with that, only the home directory matters, you shouldn't be messing with anything else because you don't have the knowledge for that to even be necessary. Anyway, you can just watch a video or read a tutorial, to learn about that, if you need to. But this image sums it up. When you open your file manager, you will be in /home/yourusernamehere, and that's basically all you have to think about as a beginner. Normal users mostly only have access to their own directories in /home.
