The system starts simple, with only essential tools installed. To activate the graphical interface, you'll discover where all configuration options lie. Networking will be managed via the command line, and you'll have the chance to experiment with newer software releases not yet offered on common distributions.
If you want easy but can learn more in the future Ubuntu. If you want to deep dive right away Arch, its all command line based install and it is all extremely well documented on their wiki. To make a bootable Linux USB use rufus and point it at the USB key and the ISO image. If you want to try Linux i suggest you visualize it. Use virtualbox to try out different distributions. You'll need a CLI text editor at some point. The main ones are vim, emacs, and nano. There are debates over which to use so I am not going to push my opinion on which to use. try them all and see which one you prefer. There are some good resources online as well as man pages. I usually point people at this YouTube playlist I wish you the best of luck with using Linux! PM me or post agian if you need more help!
I just set up Ubuntu on an AMD 990FX machine. It usually boots fine with USB 3.0 and 2.0, but networking fails. I had to include iommu=soft in grub. Not exactly what I expected. Still, I’m leaning toward the Arch path since it’s what I’ll switch to after Mint.
