“Besides, so many versions of Linux. Who knows which one is best? I sure don’t.”
I do... Trust me on this one. I have tried just about all of them over the last ten years as a Linux freak. For a first time user coming from windows Linux Mint “Cinnamon” is the best hands down. I even went back to it after trying all the others. If you can run Win 7 you are in like Flynn with Mint Cinnamon. And it comes boxed with just about every app you are ever going to need. I have only had to use the Command Line Interface when doing highly technical specialty stuff. Everything “normal” is full GUI and slicker than snot...
Choosing amongst all those versions would be, for me, a massive investment in time. I know nearly nothing about Linux, having been trough-fed on Microsoft for some 25 years.
But I am a genius at taking advice. It is my superpower. :)
So I will concentrate on studying Cinnamon.
Thank you!
I’ve seen a guy on Rumble, Switched to Linux, demo various Linux distros. Linux Mint Cinnamon was highly recommended.. may switch to that and try out a program that can run Windows apps & games.
My Windows 10 and 11 systems are “debloated” using a program written by Chris Titus et al. Pretty neat program to help put a choke collar on Microsoft’s hoopla.
