With the new computer and the newer Microsoft Windows updates they have really jam packed their OS with bloat and spyware. That being said I have no idea what I’m doing with Linux, need help with where to start.? What are some general tips? I understand there’s a lot of prebuilt Linux distributions or something what are some first timer friendly ones? Really any help is appreciated because the biggest barrier to entry is the perceived difficulty of actually doing it.
Use mint or Ubuntu and try a dual boot install if you have drive space. That way you can use both and gradually stop using windows
I’ve been doing this for over 10 years. It works great. Never had a problem with Mint.
