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?

      Same here, I started with Kubuntu 12.04 and never really switched away from Debian based distros
