I’ve been using Windows since the days of 3.1, practically my entire life. So I’m really comfortable with how windows operates and how to do the things that I want to do.

I’ve dabbled around with Linux over the years, but am now considering trying to make a full switch to it.

What are some resources to “learn” Linux properly? Such as understanding the filesystem, basic security practices, essential tools or commands, etc?

    It depends on what you want from your OS. I just want it to work. I don’t have to know every detail of what’s under the hood. And I never do a lot of customising. So for me, Mint is perfect. If you want to have control over everything and know how everything works, Arch is great.
