How can I download Windows 11 24H2 ISO file after 25H2 release?
I prefer to get it from Microsoft!
Is this site any good?

A quick websearch says that the 24H2 x64 USA release has a SHA256 fingerprint of: B56B911BF18A2CEAEB3904D87E7C770BDF92D3099599D61AC2497B91BF190B11 .
There are 24H2 ISOs posted on Archive.org. You can download them and test against this fingerprint readout.
You can use the command promt (cmd) to look up if they're a match. You'd use this command: "certutil -hashfile C:\[full file path]\filename.iso sha256"
Or you can use something like 7zip which does this automatically by right-clicking a file and choosing SHA256.
If there's even the slightest change in the ISO (like even an extra character in a 5gb file), you'd get a completely different SHA256 fingerprint. Do make sure you're downloading the English x64 USA ISO because there are tons of different types for region and language.

Make sure to compare the hash fingerprints like I wrote above to make sure you're getting an exact copy of the ISOs originally posted.

What is in it for them? How are they funded?

I fiddled around with it and the 24H2 ISO they have has the same SHA256 fingerprint I posted. I'd double check on my own via the cmd prompt of using something like 7zip like I mentioned earlier.
Just do a websearch on "B56B911BF18A2CEAEB3904D87E7C770BDF92D3099599D61AC2497B91BF190B11". You'd get a ton of hits. I assume it's correct.
I found a script - but it disable some elements on the task bar - eg news.

How are u running Windows apps on Linux?

If you must run a windows program, you can use WINE https://en.wikipedia.or
If you want to give Linux a spin, Linux Mint is now what is generally recommended for beginners. There are various controversies with Ubuntu nowadays, but it's still worth a look. ZorinOS is another solid beginner option that's trying hard to appeal to Windows users. Fedora is slightly more complex, but I think is worth considering as well.
