Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Linux exists people, without copilot using your information for training data and if you game, has Valve releasing updates like crazy for proton making it easier and easier to use Linux for gaming. The only thing I use Windows for is GeForce now as the windows and Mac apps are the only way for me to play 1440p 120fps with their service.
Good beginner distros: pop_os, Ubuntu, Linux mint, Nobara or fedora, Garuda, Manjaro, solus, zorin. The possibilities are really endless. Just take your pick, make a bootable USB and try it out.
2024 will be the first year I use linux exclusively on my desktop. Bazzite has been amazing.
