I am currently using windows, but Microsoft office could easily be replaced with WPS office on linux, there will be some niche features (Power query, Microsoft Access,… Etc) that will not work for linux but the rest is covered on linux.
There you go again:
What sources are better than VOA and are free?,if you don’t mind me asking.
I think VOA is very accurate in it’s coverage of USA news and most fact checking agencies rate it as factual.
I use a mix of opensource and closed source apps, so I would keep it disabled till something breaks.
But thank you for the heads up.
Copying my comment to same answer:
I don’t think that is the answer because other privacy respecting apps(Open source and offline) have a lower size.
Take for example Typewise keyboard the offline paid version, it comes at 44MB only despite them implementing their own AI stuff and implementing a completely new keyboard layout.
Other apps store stuff locally also, you can compare for example bravenewtube and grayjay, you will see a weird size difference.

Any Debian based distro is not really good to recommend for newbies, I think most beginners should start with Nobara linux, OpenSuse or if the PC is just for browsing the web a immutable distro(OpenSuse MicroOS, Fedora kryptonite,Elementary os,… Etc).
Clarification: The reason I don’t recommend Debian is that the package manager break things frequently.
