Starting on Linux

I've had a few people ask me how i made the switch and what made it work for me so here goes, keeping it short: 

Since i have been on Windows for 30+ years with brief stints on Mac besides my side ventures into basic linux server management so when i made moved over first on my laptop five years ago i went with a desktop enviroment that was so different to what i was used to it forced me to push all my learned behaviour and expectations on how a desktop behaves back into my head which made accepting and learning desktop Linux much easier for me. Not saying it will for everybody but again, i was asked so i am sharing what made sense for me. 

And in my opinion whatever distribution is running it all really does not matter* as much as some make it out to do. 
Found one that you like the look and feel of? Great! Use it!  

If you have any questions feel free to reach out and i'll happily help, if i can. But please do not copy and run commands from LLM tools since that is a sure way to cause issues as most of their sources are either outdated or wrong.

However using something established so you know security patches and other parts are kept up-to date is recommended. Examples are Ubuntu or any of it's flavors and Fedora or it´s derivatives like uBlue

And in my case the desktop enviroment i started out on was Gnome but if looking for a bit more traditional i recommend KDE Plasma
