For beginners, you can never go wrong with Ubuntu. The installation is pretty straightforward these days.
Apart from Ubuntu, I would also recommend looking at Mint, ElementaryOS, Pop!OS and ZorinOS.
The reason why there are so many to chose from is because Linux is customizable to the core. A lot of them are specialized to serve a niche purpose like entertainment, penetration testing, core development etc. For general purpose too, different teams have different vision and they end up making there own. The benefits over Windows 11 depends on which one you choose and what matters to you.
This might be a hot take, but if you are not looking to dig deeper into internals just to learn, Windows/MacOS is a better choice.
But, err, can I use my airpods with Linux? Because mine are meant for Windows (and other OSes). But I don’t know if there’s a way to use them on Linux.
Also, an entertainment “Linux” or something for research and compiling would be interesting.
As long as you have the required hardware for bluetooth, you should be able to connect most devices. For example i can connect my Wonderboom speaker, PS4 controller and some random airpods i bought from aliexpress simply by turning them on.
You can use Calibre to organize your books and papers, it is a very powerful tool with a lot of options.
Imo the hardest part of linux is just finding out about the tools available out there.

Err, penetration testing? Core development? Sorry, don’t understand these terms lol.
