I placed a spare ssd into my device and would like to put a linux distro on it so I can learn it and get completely away from windows.

What distro would you recommend for this?
Any particular favorite websites or vids useful for a linux newb? Do I need a usb stick or can I directly install to the ssd? Do I have to go into the windows bios? What settings would I change there if needed? The ssd is labeled, formatted but not partitioned. Any recommendations would be appreciated. TYIA

Thanks, I just put a 250gb ssd in my win11 pro device (cough found an ssd lying around cough) and it's a perfect reason to start using linux.
