If you are completely new to Linux I recommend starting with "default" Ubuntu in an LTS version. Avoid using the latest version if you do not need support for i.e. hardware that is only recently supported.
This way you will find heaps of help and troubleshooting information for exactly the version you are using.
I can attest to this - I've been using Ubuntu since I was 12 (14.04 LTS), and because I could mess around with stuff, I learned so much about scripting, build tools, how OSes work at a deeper level, disk management, graphics drivers, etc. This helped propel my love for programming - It's a great Idea to switch to linux, but I would suggest dual-booting when possible, because support for MS Office isn't that good in Linux, even with Wine, etc.
There is the linux subsystem for Windows, that way you can use linux in Windows with no dual boot.
It was not polished when i switched but I've heard great things about it since
Thankyou!
I am a linux user through and through but I have heard a lot about how hard windows is for programming. I recommend galliumos for low level systems (I had a chrome book and I needed to be able to code effectively so I got galliumos because of its lightweight features). Here is the website to galliumos
Im in love with Linux Lite which is perfect for making the transition from other OS into the linux world.
Learning about how to tweak my system opened to me the world of programming and what a sweet world that is. Im glad all this is available for free.
Nice, I landed my first job due to my Linux knowledge. I wish it helps you too.
Thankyou.
Yes i was thinking the same before i switched to linux and now i can't use windows anymore.
It's simple better, all the way!
Indeed
Do i need to try all those distros or I just pick one ? Im confused
Just find one, then when you get bored of it, try another. Ubuntu is good and fairly friendly 😀
You can use ditrotest.net to try different linux distros on your browser before choosing
I would advice you to give linux lite a try. It's perfect for making the transition into linux
Nice to see more people using Linux and free software :]
:)
Yes, they are all based on ubuntu and they are good for beginners atleast what i can tell from my experience.
