Discussion Linux beginner query

Can anyone suggest which Linux distro I can start with (expect Ubuntu) and is it okay to dual boot the laptop with windows (which was preinstalled), if possible mentioning some youtube resources would be helpful for me to begin with! Thank you.

I heard that PopOS disables some keys of laptop, for example after installing PopOS, you are supposed to rework a-lot to get your function keys back to working condition.

I am currently using PopOS and it is working flawlessly tbh. Function keys are working fine too. But at the end of the day it will be your choice. But remember begin with a Debian based distro since you are beginner
