Let me tell you a small story about how I learned Linux:
Two years ago I was annoyed by Windows and not being able to customize it.
(What annyoed me in particular was that you had to go to the settings to manage bluetooth devices instead of being able to just connect paired devices from the icon tray)
I had already heard of Linux in the past and had already tried it but never fully switched over.
So I decided to install Ubuntu, everything worked well for a few days until I tried to do something it wasn’t designed for and it broke.
(Ubuntu really isn’t designed for users that want to change their system in any way)
After that I decided fuck it. I’ll try Arch Linux. I was pretty tech-savy so I ignored all the warnings about it only being for advanced users. I installed it and it broke. I reinstalled and it didn’t work again. But after a few times I had a running system and I felt very accomplished.
Now I’m not suggesting you go the way I went. I had the privilege on not really needing my Computer and only using it for recreational means. That’s why I could leave it broken for a few days and not care that much.
If you want to learn Linux. Take the plunge, install Linux Mint, and learn as you go. You’re probably going to fuck up sometimes. But google Startpage is always your friend. And if you don’t get further, the community will always help you.
