If you’re interested in deprogramming yourself from silicon valley and it’s your first time ever using GNU/Linux then you should start with Linux Mint.
My dms are always open if you need a linux expert ™ or just a buddy guide.
I’m seconding hello_hello’s recommendation to use Linux Mint.
Also, if you (or anyone reading this) is on the fence, go through the Linux Mint installation instructions until you’re in the live session. You’ll get a screen that looks like this:
At this point you can fiddle around, browse the internet, try some of the pre-installed apps, and see if you like it. If you don’t, you can just restart your computer and unplug the thumb drive, and no changes will have been made at all. It won’t actually do anything to your computer until you open the “Install Linux Mint” app.
Yes ma’am. If u need any pointers or help on how to get started you can dm me.
I’m interested in getting started anything you’d recommend?

Sounds good. That’s what I’m going to attempt. I’ll do some light research about Mint to start. I’ll let you know when I have questions. Thanks!
And if you keep it out in the open instead of DMing hello_hello I would love to read about your journey in linux.
I will probably have to keep windows for some applications. I do music production and I think I have to use Windows for those for now 😕
