With the new computer and the newer Microsoft Windows updates they have really jam packed their OS with bloat and spyware. That being said I have no idea what I’m doing with Linux, need help with where to start.? What are some general tips? I understand there’s a lot of prebuilt Linux distributions or something what are some first timer friendly ones? Really any help is appreciated because the biggest barrier to entry is the perceived difficulty of actually doing it.

    Yeah, they’re installing software.

    Everything below / is the OS. There isn’t an analog to C:\Windows in *nix-like operating systems.

    The closest thing to a pure separation would be an immutable distro like Silverblue or MicroOS.
