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.

    I’d start with actually using Linux. Linux Mint, or Fedora Linux are great. I’d install it on a VM/as dualboot.

    I’d suggest that you wouldn’t use it when you’re in a hurry/need to work on an assignment and stuff.

    Start with the evenings/nights and weekends, when you’re free and have the time, and more importantly, the will, to learn.
