You don't seem to ask for a lot from it. Fairly sure it could work out.

The only thing one might need to know before recommending anything is what type of work you do on a computer?

I do most of things actually on my main new build like gaming and stuff, but I have these full hard drives with a lot of my files and history that I occasionally watch and use but don’t want to have them on my new pc bcs they are loud and noisy, so most likely using for data hoarding and learning basic Linux experience

In that case, I would say load a bunch of them on a USB with Ventoy and try them all.

Right now, I would say pure Debian or LMDE.

For me, Arch Linux is the ideal hobbyist distro. You are constantly learning things. Unfortunately it comes with the downside of not being straightforward to setup for a user not used to Linux and requires a more hands-on approach when it comes to maintenance.

When I used Linux for the first time years ago it was with Ubuntu 10.04. I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu much these days but the closest thing in spirit that I would actually recommend is Linux Mint.

I'd go with the flagship release personally. I have no issues with Ubuntu being used as a base. Especially since that comes with a mountain of documentation, solved bug reports and a huge community. For a newcomer, that means something.

The whole internet seems to recommend Mint, so I just made a usb with Mint cinnamon, let’s see how it works out

Try it for yourself . if it works for you ok if not you ll get rid of it as I did. if only for browsing Internet it s fine .But for gaming ... nah

Mint is for old people, it's stable but it's always outdated.

Just run bazzite if you're new to linux, it's immutable distro so you can't actually break ♥♥♥♥.

You can keep on using Win 10 . Firefox continues to support win 10

Actually just finished installing it, already feels so much faster and smoother than windows 10, without doing so much, just updated it and running well.

I have my old PC with this specs:

Asus prime z170A
Intel i7 6700k with dead iGpu
Gtx 1660 super
16gb ddr4
500gb Samsung sata ssd
3tb hard drive

Will it work? Never used Linux before, Will it be worth to try Linux on it and use it as an everyday work, watching movies, browsing and data hoarding? No gaming.
Windows 10 supp ended and not willing to give Microsoft a dime for extended security lol.

For new users i recommend debian stable xfce, manjaro xfce.

Intel + Nvidia ==> Manjaro (maybe now ubuntu)

After 3 years on Linux... will Windows 12 be modular? Maybe I'll go back to using it.
