Well...Well...Well... You’re probably tired of Windows, too—or maybe you just want something new , And you think Linux is an interesting option, you HAVE to read this What do I want to talk about? You have likely already heard the name of the best distribution for beginners, but I will list a few options for you to choose from to get started. (We'll talk more about choosing a distro in another post.) Linux mint (Cinnumon Recommended) Pop_!OS Ubuntu Zorin OS MX linux Choose one to get started. How do we use them for the first time? NEVER install Linux fully on your computer. You have two options: Virtual machine (recommended) Dual boot Dual-booting requires more complex steps—such as creating a bootable flash drive or partitioning the disk—but it leaves all the computer's resources available, allowing you to use the system normally. A virtual machine is like running Linux as if it were an application; however, it consumes more resources, so you need a more powerful computer. Installing them is simple, too—whether on a virtual machine or in a dual-boot setup. You can easily learn how to install it by watching a YouTube video and talking to an AI. Important note: For a dual-boot installation, be sure to check the internet connection, audio, keyboard, mouse, and display within the live-USB before starting the installation. And make sure the USB drive is in good working order and has at least 8 GB of space. Okay, I've installed it. How do I use it? First of all, the basic terminal commands. (on linux yo have to learn it , else you are NOT a linux user) Package manager All the distributions mentioned here use the apt package manager. If you are using a different distribution, search online to find out how to use its package manager. Knowing how to search is a skill in itself! (Discussing package managers would take too long, so I won't talk about them.) However, if you are using these distributions, you should know these commands for removing, installing, and updating. for install something : sudo apt install <package-name> sudo : the root Access apt : calling package manager install : install something with APT and then type the package name for uninstalling a package : sudo apt remove <package-name> sudo : the root Access apt : calling package manager remove : remove something with APT and then type the package name for update every package in linux : sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade run this two command for updating just one package : sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install <package> Terminal commands pwd ls cd cat mkdir touch cp mv rm rmdir find file tree nano here is the list of the commands you have to learn . you can easy search : linux command line crash course linux command line for beginners and watch a youtube video to learn it . Have a great life with Linux!
