Bro your knowledge on this is so far ahead of mine it would be like comparing American technology to the technology of an undiscovered tribe :)

I looked but I can’t make head or tail out of it.

Ah, just get yourself on old, cheap PC (desktop or laptop, it does’t matter - unlike other operating systems, Linux doesn’t require hardware like a flamethrower), download the OS to a flash drive from the Mint homepage (it’s a free OS, unlike Mac or Windows), and follow the bouncing ball on the install/how-to page. It’ll be a good time-waster on a rainy evening, instead of streaming something on Nextflix, and you’ll pick it up at about the same pace as Mac iOS, but there’s a bazillion more apps out there, and it’s fun. Plus you’ll staand out in a crowd. LOL

Actually, if you do decide to play mad scientist with Linux, download Mint (the Cinnamon x64 .iso) onto your existing computer, then go to MajorGeeks.com, and download a little program called Rufus. It'll format your flash drive to be a bootable device, and it'll write the Linux .iso file to the flash drive. Just go into the machine BIOS and set the USB port as your first boot device.
