Although its just another OS, linux does have a major learning curve for the common GUI enjoyer like me.

When you all were first learning linux, did you have a specific resource you learned from? Was it more like doing projects and learning on the way through forums?

I am not a perefect example because I always dabbled a little in linux, on a second computer. however I started to get mad at windows 10 and when I got my new laptop, windows 11 was not going to happen for me so I decided it was time for me to take the plunge and change my main computer to linux

I find chosing something that looks vaugly windows like helps, (so not gnome) and also disabling the virtual workspaces, though that could also be my personal quarks.

honestly, to pariphrase game changer, the best way to learn is by doing the best way to do is by begining and the only way to begin is by begining, ask arround and try to figure out a distro and desktop you want to try and just try it. as for what I use, my main computer is Fedora XFCE and my second laptop is Open Suse Tumbleweed XFCE because I wanted to try a rolling release
