I have grown up around Linux and have had people like my dad use it near me my whole life. I even booted a fedora version once on a very old machine when I was younger as a way for my dad to teach me about Linux. Sadly I never really caught on at the time.

I am ready to really jump in now. Is there a beginners guide/pros cons comparison for different distribution of Linux? I am also curious about how well things like matlab, solidworks, and Office suit/libra office work in Linux.

Thank you!

    I have taken some python classes and can see how powerful it is. When I took it though since I have taught myself Java and some C++ it was weirdly hard to understand because of how loose some of the syntax and mechanics were.

      If you already feel that away about python you should definitely stay away from R 😂 great language with a stats focus but man it’s way too loose with some stuff
