If you don’t have specific application support needs, Debian based distros like Ubuntu/Mint (based on Ubuntu) are good for a first-timer. You won’t have all the GUI management stuff like you get in Windows. You may find Arch a bit more challenging.

Policy on the local machine - or in the case of home, registry settings. Granted, the settings app can bug out, but if it’s a consistent problem, it’s the first thing to come to mind. If you can search for windows update settings, but clicking on it leads to something else, that would be consistent with such a change.
Wouldn’t hurt to check group policy.



This was years ago - but I feel like the solution for CGNAT at the time required a static, and we also implemented DDNS for their TLD. It definitely wasn’t T-Mobile. It took some time to find someone at the mobile ISP who understood what we needed, and what options existed.
