Linux Mint is a GREAT baby's first Linux distro, specifically with the Cinammon desktop/interface. It's really easy to switch over from Win10, and I even got my wife (who has quite literally said computers run on magic) in to the habit of being able to handle dual-booting for the few things she absolutely needed Windows for (mostly a couple of very specific work things).
Mint+Cinnamon is great if you want a just-works OS running Linux and from there you can branch out in to more specific stuff like Arch (fast AF, but I hope you like building packages). Mint's installer is also a portable version of the operating system, so you can test it out before or even while you install it (though it does run a little slower off a DVD or flash drive).
One of my friends swears by OpenSUSE, and I can't stand it for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.
DistroWatch is a good place to get started if you want to compare different flavors of Linux. https://distrowatch.com/
From there it looks like ZorinOS might be worth looking in to, they just had several driver updates, including 3000-series nVidia cards, Playstation controllers, and a few other things.
you could just unscrew the case and remove the camera entirely
or drill through it
I've had a piece of sticky note held in place with electrical tape on my travel laptop for the last eight years or so (basically since I got it). Haven't had to replace it once.
Thank you. I hate OP's attention-seeking and retarded word games.
