Hello everyone
You probably heard and answered this a hundred times already but I’m a bit overwhelmed by everything when I start searching by myself online. Even more so when I’m not fully sure what I’m even looking for.
I want to switch to Linux but I don’t really know where to start and also I’m a bit scared to abandon Windows which I have been using for 20+ years now. Could you recommend me sources for absolute beginners (English or German) and/or give me tips and pointers?
Edit:
Thank you all for your help!
I got it working with a dual-boot from a USB and it’s way easier than I feared. Next step is to get an external drive and get serious.
just mentioning zorin. its not the latest but its goal is basically to have a familiar interface and have a lot out of the box. So right after install you have browser, libre office, photo/video/audio basics, rdp client, and wine/playon linux so you can right click a windows exe and run it or install it. Its ubuntu so often times other software, for instaces most other browsers will auto detect the operating system and give you the download option which will activate the software installer to install it on a double click. auto updates and such with a pop up just like windows update but also doing all your software.
I installed Mint now and so far I have to say I’m very happy, although it’s only been a few hours. It’s easy to understand and for everything that I don’t I can find something online, now that I know what I’m looking for.
