Hi everyone. I'm happy to be here.. Looking forward to becoming good at using Linux so I can one day finally put my copy of Windows where it belongs - in the trash.
I'm recent convert to Linux. I had to be willing to learn a few things, but it's definitely worth it. In my opinion, Linux Mint is the best one to use at first. It's similar enough to Windows that I didn't feel completely lost.
Linux is so much faster than a Windows that it blows my mind. The Promised Land is just ahead. Don't let any frustrations deter you. There are great people here who are more than eager to help us newbies!
My best piece of advice is to familiarize yourself with Linux terminology when you have questions. A lot of people here don't use Windows or haven't used it for a very long time. The very first time I tried Linux I used Windows terms to ask questions. For example, what we call the Command Window or Command Shell in Windows is called The Terminal in Linux.
I like to say I can "speak Windows". I'm learning to translate to "Linux".
Welcome to freedom!
