Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes.

With how bad Google is finding good information unless I add -reddit to my search. Which I won’t do. Trying to stay away from that.

What can I expect to find as a casual observer? Why does Linux do that’s “better” than Windows? That’s not meant to inflame anyone. More so what do you personally like better.

    First, install Linux. Be sure to remove windows in the process.

    Second, ???

    Third, Profit

    That’s how I did it 😹

    For real tho just take the plunge and start using Linux, you can never know everything beforehand, just need to experience it

      Make sure to backup you data beforehand, If you need an application for your work check if it exists on Linux and what alternatives you can use if it does not exists.
