Yeah but with that same knowledge at 13??? You'd be a prodigy :D I suppose if I could really choose I'd split the difference at about 20-21

Yeah I've already decided to go with Linux Mint and learn on that.

Thank you. I'm still in the process of completing the studio. Originally it was planned as an audio/video/photography studio but I don't have the room. It will be used most likely for audio recording of music, sound design and orchestral scoring of music to film. The most recent project I did...

I want to learn Linux on my laptop but it will still need to be linked with my audiodesk that controls hardware in 3 different rooms. There is way too much involved and countless hours of setup and development to just throw everything away and hope Linux will do the job. That would be foolish...

Ha, well I like the enthusiasm. I wish I was 13 years old :cool:

I started watching this Linux Mint guide and it seems to be very informative. He did however download from the 'official site'. If you don't need to worry about breaking something, why not just use the newest version if you have not installed Linux yet? Also what was up with the comment...

Be careful if you have 64?

Yes. I have a recording studio and until there are Linux versions of Steinberg Cubase Professional, Studio One Professional and MANY other software programs and VSTs I will be using Windows. I would love it if there were but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future. I'm probably...

So regarding VM, don't bother? Just install the Linux OS? I'm assuming it won't interfere with Linux if I leave Hyper-V active on Windows but just not using it for Linux?

I get it, no offense meant by the comment. Given that there are a gazillion versions of Linux available, how are you supposed to know where to get the different versions? I would guess there are a couple of reputable sites that host all of the safe/tweaked versions but this is new so just a...

I'm still trying to sort out which distro I will go with (I'm guessing that's the first priority) but regarding running Linux, am I correct in thinking you can either boot from a USB Flash drive but working this way will not allow you to save preferences, etc you basically start from scratch...

I just tried this website and it is very "choppy". The mouse cursor is moving like the system is just about to crash. Not sure how to explain.

That sounds crazy. I'm new but if the official website of a product can't release it's own product very well... crazy.

Awesome! Given my computing needs, do you have recommendations for which versions to try? Now that you've answered the multi boot question, that would be my main interest now. I know people will have varying ideas and suggestions. I'd like to hear them.

Hello, I'm new to all of this and I'd like to compare Manjaro and Ubuntu. They seem to be the ones people recommend for beginners. If you have a better suggestion given my needs please let me know. I vaguely remember trying Ubuntu years ago but only briefly. What would I want to achieve with...
