Hi there,
I am a total newbie to Linux and need pointing in the right direction Have an old laptop that I want to get back up and running with Linux while on my learning curve. A little about me. Been using computer since the early days of ZX81, Acorn Electron, through to Commodore 64, Amiga then onto windows 3.11 and progressing through to Windows 10. Had enough of all the rubbish that is now on my system and not knowing what files are safe, needed or need binning. I have probably forgot most of what I once knew so need to learn from the very beginning so need a heads up on :- 1 where to start, 2 can you browse the net still with Linux, check out Facebook, Booking.com, onlin e banking etc. 3 will programs I have purchased still run on Linux. ie Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Wilcom Hatch2 (embroidery design software). Any and all help greatly appreciated.
