Hello everyone
You probably heard and answered this a hundred times already but I’m a bit overwhelmed by everything when I start searching by myself online. Even more so when I’m not fully sure what I’m even looking for.
I want to switch to Linux but I don’t really know where to start and also I’m a bit scared to abandon Windows which I have been using for 20+ years now. Could you recommend me sources for absolute beginners (English or German) and/or give me tips and pointers?
Edit:
Thank you all for your help!
I got it working with a dual-boot from a USB and it’s way easier than I feared. Next step is to get an external drive and get serious.
I’m replying from my Linux Mint from my USB, so that was successful :)
Is that like a “lite” or test version of the OS because I doesn’t seem to apply any changes I made when I restart it?
Edit: I figured it out myself
When running from a live USB, any changes are lost, unless the usb is written with the persistence mode. A live media is mostly to install the os and fix errors.
Gotcha, thanks :)
