Linux operates differently from Windows, so adapt your expectations and invest time to grasp the Linux approach. Similar to learning Windows, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with its unique methods. The command line interface (CLI) is available, but it offers far greater capabilities than DOS ever did. Below is an overview of common Linux commands, along with their purposes and usage: https://ss64.com/bash/

Consider Kubuntu, an excellent Linux distribution featuring a superb desktop environment (KDE).

Consider Zorin OS. It mimics a Windows-like interface, rooted in Ubuntu, and is straightforward to navigate. A lightweight option works well on older machines.

Be prepared to reinstall several things—grub bootloader can be dangerous if you make mistakes, just like I did at first! Note: I run Ubuntu Server on my home server, okay?

Explore the core of any system without diving deep into technical details. Any Linux distribution works well for starting out. For newcomers, it's best to choose ones that come ready with many features pre-set, offer user-friendly installers, and provide graphical interfaces for tasks typically handled via commands. The ideal approach is to use an old machine you have spare or set up a virtual environment, with VirtualBox being a great choice for its balance of functionality and ease of use.

You can achieve it, though I’m not sure how to explain if you skip the config files or partitions.

I’m a skilled Linux user (developer), but I still like a straightforward out-of-the-box setup because it’s quicker for fast tasks. That’s why I favor Ubuntu—it offers plenty of tutorials and strong support for tools not found in the Software Center.

Linux options abound! If you're not quite settled yet, Pop!_OS from System76 could be a great fit. Zorin OS might also offer a similar experience. Deepin, Elementary OS, and Solus are other solid choices. Everyone has different preferences, so explore until you find what suits you best. Feel free to customize and replace elements that don't resonate. Welcome to the world of Linux!
