I LITTERALLY just downloaded it an hour ago. I have a legacy IMB Thinkpad that I wanted to use, and thought maybe Linux was the way to go. I’ve been learning Linux on a Raspberry Pi. It’s been fun.

I get why the Linux community likes it better. Windows, in a very real sense, keeps you stupid about how your computer works. Many, many people don’t care how it works. I get that.

However, once you know, wow is Linux easier to use and maintain.

I have a mint iso that I keep saying that I will try on a 4 year old Lenovo. Ubuntu live seems to work well on the fairly new Dell pc.

I used Linux some a few years ago but got off the wagon.

I’ve looked at signing up for classes at Linux Academy.
