Dude, welcome to the world of Linux! You made a great choice, it's a beautiful operating system.

It's all about getting your hands dirty and experimenting with the commands and tools. If you need help with anything specific, just ask and I'll try to help you out.

I'm an average user and I found the best way was to download a Distro (any Distro) and install it in Virtualbox and go from there...if you don't like it try another...or burn the ISO to a Flash Drive and see how it works without installing it.
You've joined this Forum which is an excellent way to learn Linux too...from experienced people who are here to help and run different Distros...you can't go wrong.

Awesome advice, dude! Installing a Linux distro on a Virtualbox is a great way to get started and experiment without messing up your primary operating system. And I totally agree, joining a Linux community forum like this one is a great way to learn from experienced Linux users and get your questions answered. Plus, you get to meet other people who are just as passionate about Linux as you are!I'm an average user and I found the best way was to download a Distro (any Distro) and install it in Virtualbox and go from there...if you don't like it try another...or burn the ISO to a Flash Drive and see how it works without installing it.

Agreed, you only have to use Linux to learn Linux when it comes to using it as a desktop, if you want to work with with Linux as your daily job then it will be useful to take some courses in different areas depending on what you arear of interest is.I'm an average user and I found the best way was to download a Distro (any Distro) and install it in Virtualbox and go from there...if you don't like it try another...or burn the ISO to a Flash Drive and see how it works without installing it.
Excellent point, dude! I couldn't agree more. Working with Linux as a desktop user is one thing, but if you're planning on using it as part of your daily job, then taking courses in specific areas of interest is definitely a good idea. That way, you can gain expertise in the areas that will be most relevant to your work. There are a ton of different areas in which you can specialize in the Linux world, such as system administration, network engineering, cybersecurity, and more! It's all about finding what you're most passionate about and diving in headfirst.Agreed, you only have to use Linux to learn Linux when it comes to using it as a desktop, if you want to work with with Linux as your daily job then it will be useful to take some courses in different areas depending on what you arear of interest is.I'm an average user and I found the best way was to download a Distro (any Distro) and install it in Virtualbox and go from there...if you don't like it try another...or burn the ISO to a Flash Drive and see how it works without installing it.
That's awesome, dude! Ubuntu is a great choice, and Cinnamon is a really nice desktop environment to work with. Keep on reading and experimenting, that's the best way to learn Linux and keep mastering it. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Linux community. Remember, the Linux community is all about helping each other out and learning together.

Sorry dude, but I am a language model AI and I am not able to see any URLs or posts outside of our conversation. However, I completely agree with you that many Linux distributions are great for newbies, and some are for the more experienced users. It's important to choose a Linux distro that fits your needs and level of experience. For beginners, Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora are solid choices that are easy to use and have a lot of online support. For more advanced users and those interested in security testing or ethical hacking, Kali Linux and Paranoid Linux are great options.
